Gambling is now really accesible nowadays, it starts with the tradition gambling wherein you are going to specific place to play personally or to gamble personally. It is now easily accessible because it already developed and we can now gamble online, there are so many websites online where we can gamble and the woeful fact is that people with any age can now gamble, if the website requires the idendtity then they can also use their parents ID or someone the know with valid ID.

bigger problems require better solutions I guess? Well even before in traditional gambling places, we also used to borrow our friend's IDs or steal our parent's IDs hahahha. It just that nowadays it is more of technology and website based.

Ive seen a qoute saying One has to know the risks and how to protect themselves,” she said. “[Gambling] does have alluring qualities that people have to be aware of this one says everything, there are a lot of gambler who have lost their lives becaus of addiction, addiction turns into depression this is not already a joke because it can really kill people. This is really destructive as it is now accessible 24/7 nowadays for only using phone or computer.
depression is a very sensitive subject. but if you are someone who is suffering from it, I just want you to know that things will get fine. Whatever you're suffering on, that will shall pass.

I am hoping that people who gamble can still prevent themselves from being addicted on it, there are still a lot of things that we can do to prevent addiction and those gambling websites or application can also help their customer by doing these things.

1. They can use more secured ways to identify the real identity of their customer, the best thing to do here, aside from valid ID is they should add "take a selfie" on identity process.
2. They can also set a time limit of playing for a player, give notification if this would be their last game anymore for today.
3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.

With these kind of features, they might actually help or lessen the addiction of a gambler.
Irresponsible gambling will surely ruin your life. Indeed, having additional security and limitations of gambling websites to be as features would help the users manage themselves. But it still always depends on the user and the gambler. Just please gamble with care and don't ruin your life with betting be it online or traditional.

that casino welcome package, little module, and daily 25% cashback is the real deal. I love the emphasis for secure transactions and fast processing. And to those who are competitive, that daily slots tournament looks promising. I hope the weekly update is on time so any adjustments for players and coming will be properly moderated, especially right now most FAQs were about KYCs. Players just want security and build a level of trust. All in all? Kudos to this.
543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 14, 2023, 01:05:01 PM
Especially those who spent a lot of time, the after effect most of the time turned things into negative, instead of having that enjoyment it creates lust and desire, emotions that lead a gambler to more un-control gambling participations, like what I've said, experienced may bring you to a decent side but not every time you'll be managed to control yourself and avoid getting addicted.

The chance is still possible, even an experienced gambler can turn to an addicted gambler, if control and limitation were exceeded.
Someone who is already an addict and has no sense of responsibility for what he does in gambling will only lead him to negative things and has high emotions, can't even control himself so what he does is just what he wants because of his thoughts. different from other people's. -other normal people.
Instead of experience, it can lead to a better side, but in reality not all gamblers can learn from experience and most of them ignore all the experience they have and only have the goal of being able to win bets no matter what.

Yes, in gambling the opportunity to become an addict will always be there and no one can avoid it, the only way to avoid gambling addiction is to leave or leave gambling and never come back again.

That's why having sets of rules is important. Because unless you put limitations on what you do, how can you control yourself? Actually, it's not just it. mindfulness, discipline, and accountability is the key.
Only people with strong character win this game. Gambling is a tug of war. You are not only betting your money but also putting yourself in an environment which is prone to have you an addictive behavior. You can learn from your own experience, you can learn from others.

It is easy to gamble. But it is very difficult to stay profitable and stay on your own lane.
So if you think you have a strong character over the casinos and you have the skill. That is real luck. You have greater chance.
544  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: May 14, 2023, 12:55:11 PM
We must return this to the notion of gambling which involves betting in a game. So in general if a game is without betting then it cannot be said to be gambling in my opinion, because it goes back to the basic understanding of gambling itself. And I agree that gambling carries risks, and if there is nothing at stake then what risks will we get, because we don't bet anything and will not lose anything from that game.
However, if it is based on personal opinion, of course there will always be different opinions from one to another.

Didn't gambling start back then when money was not created yet and other things were paid when a gambler lost? Because I remembered when I was young, I was still in elementary school, when I was playing with my friends in the text card battle of marvels super heroes, when I won, I got a card instead of winning and when I accumulated a lot of cards, I sell cards to my opponents or teammates to make money for a small coin.
That is clearly different, the focus is when there are betting objects that can be categorized as gambling and what you do with the games you did when you were small is clearly the betting is about cards, not where the losers have to give to the winners?
There is a media that is a hero card there that is at stake which allows you to get an advantage when you win and have to lose if you lose.
That is clearly different from what the OP said because indeed in this case it is only about how we guess correctly and get profits but if we are wrong it doesn't have any impact.

Well for me, as long as you are taking risks and only relying on the whole outcome to the occurrence of luck and uncertainty. It is gambling. Money is just a tool. A great tool. like how we use to trade coins, assets, and properties. When you bet it without properly analyzing your edge and the outcome. When you don't have any control of the process but just bet one side over the other. It is gambling. You take risks with the hopes of greater returns. The more you bet, the greater accountability you must have.
545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 14, 2023, 12:16:13 PM
Even though in some countries gambling and physical casinos are prohibited, in reality there are still several physical casinos that operate because of the protection of people in power, it's just that most gamblers prefer to gamble in online casinos because they can play from home or they are without have to go to a physical casino.
It's not that easy for countries to prohibit gambling then we can use a VPN because there are also online casinos that prohibit their users from accessing using a VPN.
What is clear from the rapid development of online casinos is caused by the convenience and more efficiency that can be obtained when gambling using online casinos.
When an online casino doesn't provide services in a country, it might be possible for people from that country to access the casino but they will surely face problems if they are asked for KYC since they will need to provide documents that will let the casino management know that the people are not from an allowed country.

Generally, I believe that cryptocurrency casinos should be accessible worldwide since cryptocurrencies are available everywhere, but mainly because of their licenses and rules, and regulations, they don't accept players from certain regions.
The universe of gambling, folks, it's like an engrossing thriller! Despite the iron-clad laws, brick-and-mortar casinos somehow keep rolling, courtesy of their high-powered patrons. But, guess what? Today's bettors have a fantastic shortcut to quench their wagering thirst – the world wide web! They can hit the jackpot from their living room, the ultimate convenience!

But wait! It's not all peaches and cream in this game! Some try to dupe the system with VPNs, but the internet casinos are no fools. They have their ways to sniff out VPN tricksters, so no sneaking past their digital walls! And let's not forget the KYC hoop - those from the no-play zones might hit a snag when it comes to document validation. Quite a maze, huh?

And imagine this: what if everyone could access crypto casinos? Cryptos are like elusive unicorns in the finance world, galloping without borders! But alas, licenses and laws rain on our dreams, barring players from certain locales from the crypto casino party. Life's a paradox, don't you think?


Maybe that's why no wonder that casinos are growing faster than we could imagine. However, both have advantages and disadvantages, both to the gamblers, casinos or the house, and the normal people who don't have any idea that these things do exist.

These online platforms provided nowadays are easily accessible which means it is also easier for irresponsible gamblers to lose their money and their house. Vice versa to those winning gamblers, it's easier for them to make money. In terms of KYC which corresponds to crypto gambling, the security of who you are doing transactions with was a big risk. But  a big advantage to those who wants to remain their identity anonymous.

Life's a paradox indeed. And in gambling, it will either build you up or break you down.
546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: May 14, 2023, 12:05:55 PM
It's been awhile I try daily to make profit

Stake casino mostly mines

But it take back profit.. I have 2k balance.. is there method

To get 100 $ per day
If you think you can earn $100 per day from casino platform then I think it is totally wrong idea. Because the casino platform is a totally luck based platform it is not certain that you will win from here but you will definitely lose from here. Those who choose the casino platform as a means of livelihood are living very badly.  So stay safe from this uncertain future. Use your $2000 for good work, even though you will earn little from it, spend your days with peace of mind.

exactly. you cannot expect gambling to provide you with consistent income. Unless you are the house or you built a casino, or online betting itself, you have a chance. Casino gaming that is probability based or has uncertain outcomes has an undeniably high level of risk, so you are not only prone to not making money but you are also prone to losing the money that you have invested in. Some find playing casinos a sort of fun, and some find a way of making money and living with it. It could be luck, it could be a skill, could be risk management. Find what works for you and always set realistic expectations.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: May 13, 2023, 12:03:44 PM
Chat GPT was not created for gambling. Perhaps in the future the AI will be able to beat humans at poker. For example right now machines play chess better than humans. In chess, the AI can calculate combinations of moves. Gambling is quite the other thing. I think in the future humans will teach AI to calculate mathematically the best moves in poker.

Chat GPT can only teach how to play poker, but nothing more.

   -  That's correct, Chatgpt was created just like google search that what you want to know will only provide optional answers to the typed question. But it is not designed to beat the house edge on any casino gambling platform.

I don't know about others and they seem to believe that chatgpt can beat the house in the gambling platform which is not realistic. It's obvious that there is some deception in the community in this industry.
They need to know that even if chatgpt will later be used to beat the casinos, that doesn't mean the casinos won't do anything about it. Casinos will use AI technology to protect their business from people who also use AI. And if casinos can't keep up with technology, they won't be able to survive AI, even if it's the most popular casino. Every casino will try not to let those people win easily using AI and it looks like there will be a major update in the gambling business if AI has developed to the point where it can help gamblers to get information and choose their team.

An AI versus AI very possible to happen as business owners will not just let their business to be ruin just because of this new found ways to gain some advantages, I personally believe that AI will help you to analyze but not entirely help you in winning the game, there are always factors that influenced the outcome of the game.

Strategy game like poker depends on how you play with your cards. There are things that only human can execute and will
help them to get that edge against the players who are playing with them.

Moving to your statement, casino is business and protecting and always having that extra edge are what the priorities by
the house owners.

Because over large samples of bet the house always wins. That's the edge of the house and casinos. By the use of AIs those large samples will be easily analyze and criticize. It's already been using by many gambling sites but of course they do not rely on it solely. It only gives information relevant to come up to the house's own conviction.

It is true that AI integration can be both an advantage and a threat. An indeed double edge sword. It's still up to operator decision if how he will use AIs information to influence their winrate. AI will not affect the outcome neither can predict the future. But the information AI can give will help you to have edge to have better understanding and decision in betting and player cards of poker.


Chat GPT was not created for gambling. Perhaps in the future the AI will be able to beat humans at poker. For example right now machines play chess better than humans. In chess, the AI can calculate combinations of moves. Gambling is quite the other thing. I think in the future humans will teach AI to calculate mathematically the best moves in poker.

Chat GPT can only teach how to play poker, but nothing more.

And it is the fear endowed on us that keeps us to think negativities more than necessaries. That is why AIs really are can either break or make any kind of business.
548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 13, 2023, 11:49:44 AM
This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue

Mindfulness, Self-awareness, Self-control, and Discipline is the key. These bits of pieces of advice do really work. It is proven. But only if put into action.

You can set a budget before you start gambling. 5% or 10% of your capital. But how disciplined can you stick with it.
Take a break when you get to win, and don't give back your profits. How can you control yourself?
How mindful are you to avoid drugs and alcoholic drinks? How do you seek help when needed?

These questions are hard to swallow and to answer, but it's the key. You don't need techniques, you need to master yourself. It may seem like, there is no related to gamble in here, but gambling is a hard psychological game. You lose money, you may also lose yourself. So take care of yourself as you take care of your accounts.
549  Economy / Gambling / Re: How does AI gambling sound? on: May 13, 2023, 11:39:41 AM
-snip-

Until May 23? that's impossible or it is April 23? which is also outdated. I am also a self learned programmer too which now I've got an idea how you deal it . For sure it was agent GPT your friend are using but the problem is how do I get the data.  Also regarding the data it is really best to get a realtime data if you are using ChatGPT AI because they dont have access on internet they are constantly feed with information so such predictions is difficult if there are problems occurred on that day
Maybe ChatGPT Al can provide information or predictions when we give some accurate points but there is no guarantee that what Al produces can give maximum results because the information or predictions we get are only based on a history or story of what we need.
Meanwhile, a prediction cannot be made easily using AI.
I read some of the previous feedback and it seems that indeed relying on Al to make predictions is just stupid.
Maybe if to just get some certain information we can just rely on Al for some things more like predicting for bets or other things that aim to win gambling it's impossible in my opinion.

AI itself will tell you that it cannot predict a future. It can only give information, historical data, or study, which will help you to come up with your own conviction. The operator or the gambler still is in control of their own bets. If you put all your money on Ai's analysis, then your just simply putting your money to waste. A player must be responsible for their own bets, and they will do that if they use the data given b the AI and do not bet solely bet by what the AI just said.

You cannot truly predict a future but you can make a statistical guess. With proper risk management, you will last in the gambling game.
550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 13, 2023, 11:26:40 AM
Hi we are changing the reward system and we would like to have some feedback before launch the new system

What kind of rewards/bonuses do you like ?

Welcome bonuses , cashback , freespins etc ?

or what kind of rewards would you like to see in an online casino ?

Thanks

why put it all together in one basket? make it a free spin for bonuses, cashbacks, and other promos. The free spins itself would be the addictive factor to make a player remain playing the game. The bonus would feel like an extra game for the players to desensitize their wins and losses. It will give a kind of vibe and excitement seeking constant hit of dopamine of players.

Rewards such as crypto coins would do. Improvements with the system such as easy withdrawals are also essential for keeping current customers and attract newcomers and newbie players.
551  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: May 13, 2023, 03:20:56 AM
I have had a lot of stories about YouTubers using fake money to gamble and win a lot but then we can't prove how real those game seasons are because since those videos are created to advertise one casino or the other, they may manipulate games just favour the influencer during video session.

if the YouTuber has collaborated with the casino, usually the winnings on that account have been set from the casino. and it will show the success of the YouTuber by generating lots of wins from the casino. it's solely to attract new players more interested, although I'm sure some are already aware and know that it's just a victory set.
YouTubers also sometimes benefit from the referral code that they share through the videos they upload.
That could be the possible realities of things at this moment, because I have hard from multiple sources that those winning on YouTube are manipulated just to attract players and making them thinks that it is easy to win in those casino and also make a plur just to get players trapped at whatever point, since the system is the games she'd by influencers differs from the real games on the casinos.

This is why, it only those casinos with less reputation and low revenues generation means to engage the services of a YouTuber when the casino reputation is exacerbated.



exactly, they make money not by betting, gambling, playing the game but by affiliation. By putting links on their videos that will gone viral. They will get commissions and referral codes..

Since there is no money gambling, I wouldn't consider it gambling at first. But whenever you make predictions from this website and participate in gambling with those predictions, I will consider it as gambling. Because from here a strong desire to participate in gambling will awaken.
Not sure if you are contradicting yourself here or I just failed to get your point! You said you don't consider it gambling because no money is at risk but then you said it's gambling. This is confusing!
Anyway, I read the last few replies and am a bit surprised that no one talked about the affiliation of this website with the shady casino BetKing! Not sure if no one have noticed it (although I warned about it in an previous reply) or people just don't care!

when you put risk in a probabilistic outcome you're gambling. whether you put real money or not, it's gambling. The effects only reflect to your bank account. If you put real money and you win, you earn it. If you did not put money and took a loss, then you won't lose any monetary value. The heart of gambling is taking and accepting risks involve.

The price of commodities are becoming more scary by the day. As an economist with lots of bills to settle how do you deal with the price hikes, the expensive cost of living, The fluctuation in volatile assets and the demand to meet our every day needs.

Most nations are facing currency devaluation, economic downturn, Static GDP and slow revenue generation. What are your secrets for meeting the day to day expenses regardless of the inflation.

the answer is investing. you have think long term use leverage properly and wisely and let the compound effect do the heavy lifting. However it is a challenge if you're still starting because you need to make ends meet and consistently invest. You can invest in crypto and put it on yield with great returns. Or in any company that would give you dividends. That way' when you're established, your asset will give you money on yearly or quarterly basis plus its value rising compare to original price when you bought it.

use money for sufficient needs don't look rich with money. storing it in digital assets or with items that will go up in a few years like land, property or gold is the best option to fight inflation. money will continue to be eroded by inflation. we can only think how to make more money with the valuables we currently have.

You actually have 2 choices, live the way you want but you have to work double hard to meet your life standards, or live below your means for the time being until you can truly afford the life that you want. In any case, it will always lie down to what philosophy of money and living you are buying into.

1. PREPARE STUDENTS FOR AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE.
2. LEAVE ROOM FOR CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION.
3. TEACH PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION.
4. MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.


CONCLUSION: World economy can be made better if more job are created. Job creation can be made easy if individuals can creat job for themselves. During this job creation, he/she will still employ some people to his/her organization, therefore helping government to solve part of the problem caused by unemployment.

one does not necessarily need an mba to be an entrepreneur. what we need is to equip students as to how day add value to real world issues. most millionaires actually were not even graduated of finish their college degree. They just nee that spark or that a hint to find their purpose. One of my professor told me this that building a business is simple. Just solve your own problem, and sell the solution of your own problem. By that, one can add value to other people's lives. as what Op said, that's how we can make the world a better place.

I felt bad for the others who also experience those kind of theft. They must have feel violated and betrayed that their assets, which they have worked hard to accumulate, have been taken away from them.
Thats why investors should avoid sharing sensitive information about their holdings with others, and should be wary of phishing scams or other attempts to steal their private keys or login credentials. While it is good to share knowledge, be wary of how much you share especially how much you earn.

You will fail a few times, probably you lost your Bitcoin to hackers or you do something stupid that cost you your Bitcoin, it's part of the way to get rich, it's never going to go smoothly that's why the majority of people believe that getting rich is oy for some set of people.

Everything youve said is true but not everyone can afford being stupid and lose their investments. Also, failing once doesnt guaratnee you a profitable learnig where you can invest again perfectly, maybe possible if you get lucky. But it will take more than just the hopes of winning. It takes money, huge amount of money you can lose and huge amount of emotional readiness for the money you cant lose. It is always better to take yime learning the market first.
558  Economy / Economics / Re: Deposits-in the bank or in gold? on: May 10, 2023, 02:56:40 PM
Have different baskets. Dont limit your options to between saving in banks or investing in golf. Saving money can be a challenge, especially with limited income and expenses such as school, social activities, and personal interests. However, it's never too early to start thinking about ways to protect your savings against inflation and other economic risks.

Investing in gold can be a good option for protecting your savings against inflation and other economic risks. While it may not be the most traditional investment choice, it can offer long-term stability and security for your money.

I deposit in the bank, this is because when saving money in a bank it is safer than gold, I can't imagine saving money in gold so it makes it difficult for me to sleep and go to work because I'm always worried if the gold is lost, saving money in the bank is safer because it's easy for us to control.
You can try to use bank to invest in gold. In our country, skme banks offer gold savings account where you don't actually own physical gold. Instead, you own shares in a fund that holds gold, and the fund is responsible for storing the gold securely. In this case, you don't need to worry about storing the gold yourself. We'll go back to the question if it is safe to go to banks. It makes sense because bankruptcy of a bank holding the gold would not directly impact your investment but if the broader financial system were to be impacted by the bank's bankruptcy, (if you watch the movie Big Short) the value of the fund holding the gold may still be affected.
