Can a regular player actually win a casino race or is it just for whales?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I have tried it on few occasions but have not won for obvious reasons, I am not gambling the way other gamblers who are targeting the winning are playing. For some serious gamblers, they already have a plan for it, the style they are going to use to continue gambling and refilling their wallet if they lose everything but I don't play like that, I could join but won't play repeatedly for the time period that the race will last. I like to participate in such event on CEX, it's much easier for me to win than lose.

This is no advantage for the casino. lol with the multiplier leaderboard race then a lot of opportunities for the regular bettor whereas the leaderboard based on the betting volum it benefits the whale as well as the casino because they get a refund from the player.

You can not want such a race and most commonly the most betting race, in weekly or monthly with a total prize large enough, then your competition will not be enough to be at the top of the rankings, too many rivals.

What are you living for bro? Why the rush in life because you want to gain some level in VIP or something? Is it even worth it? Those big whales that have the money to take huge risks also lose a lot of money too.

Risking big amount of money on gambling doesn't guarantee that you will win, casinos will be happy to have customers like yourself, they will rob bonuses and good offers to your face and that's it.

Will all the big money spending on casino you still need your share of luck to win big amount of money too, casinos are running businesses and you falling under VIP treatments doesn't mean they don't want to make money off you.

Ask these user, In Bitcointalk:
1. Bitinity
2. roycilik

These guys, are the one who having a experience like High Multiplier Contest. Also, roycilik and Bitinity are the one who can competed in Duelbits too. They both can compete with high roller.

But for right now, they are not focused on these anymore.

I'd rather use the money to bet on multiple parlays or perhaps a single bet than use it to wager in a race where the winner wins by chance.
That is because I don't have the money to participate in a casino wagering tournament. Though I'm aiming for profit, it won't make sense that I'm using money I don't really have to chase the one I want to have.

Why compete in a tournament with whales when you're not one, they can afford to lose a lot and move on but for average gamblers like us it doesn't make much sense that is if you're being calculative with your bankroll management. I'm not into any casino tournaments, it's enough for me to take my chances against the house and that is enough competition for me, we have different categories of gamblers and mine is to unwind with amounts that I can give away. Whatever tournaments or bonuses that a casino comes up with they will always put their own interests before the gambler's interests. If a casino is doing any giveaways they are recovering it in more ways and I cannot blame them because those are strategies for them to increase profits.

Casinos launch these races precisely for this type of gambler; that's where the profits scale. Perhaps it's not in their best interest to launch these campaigns for "regular" gamblers. I also can't afford to participate, and I believe that even if I could, I wouldn't. Everyone does what they think is best with their money, but I'm amazed at how someone can bet so much just to win a prize that, most of the time, will be much smaller than the total wagered.

[Findingnemo]

When the requirement for winning those weekly events are only the total wager amount then anyone who did reach the top of the list will win, be it a whale or a random person and as a casual gambler you don't have to concentrate on those things because the total wagering amount for that doesn't worth taking the risk for those rewards and even whales are not trying to hit them because it's like a tip change for them even when they win those rewards.

[Leahized]

Whats even the point for regular players?

Most races are based on total wagering volume. which basically means whoever has the biggest bankroll gets the best chance at winning. and if you wanna climb higher you gotta keep betting more and more...

As a gambler, is it very important to win daily, weekly, or monthly races? No. I see no reason to have to win these races. When a gambler starts competing, they may not achieve the expected success until the end. In contrast, the desire to rise to the top of the leaderboard may lead to losses.

In my opinion, it is natural for gamblers to bet, as there is a possibility of gaining some profit. However, the casino races are open to everyone, but maintaining a top position is very difficult. And no matter how you bet, the odds will not be in your favour.

[Nwada001]

Anything that has to do with leaders' board competition, I don’t usually try to even compete for it because I know those rankings and for VIP players, those with not just a fat bank account but people with enough spare money allocated for gambling; the more you try to compete with them, the more likely you can lose money while your total wager won’t be anywhere close to theirs. Sometimes you wonder if the amount shown in the ranking is actually real or not.

[YOSHIE]

I used to often try competitions provided by online casinos, especially on Bitcointalk in the games and rounds section, indeed the competitions were exciting and fun, you could say I also often won those casino competitions.

For your questions, here are all the answers.

And what do you think is more fair - wager-based leaderboards, random raffles or highest multiplier races?

In my experience and what I have seen, ordinary gamblers prefer random lottery and betting-based competitions, while the highest multiplier competitions are often used by gamblers who have large capital, so it is clear here about the character of the people taking part. in a casino race.

Yes, the answer is the second point option.

[MArsland]

Almost every operator (maybe even everyone of them) has some kind of race with leaderboard now: weekly, monthly, whatever with '$100k up for grabs'. and in every leaderboard, the top 10 have wagered amounts ... i can't wager in my life.

Whats even the point for regular players?

Most races are based on total wagering volume. which basically means whoever has the biggest bankroll gets the best chance at winning. and if you wanna climb higher you gotta keep betting more and more...

Personally i'd rather see a leaderboard based on the highest multiplier or something where a $1 bet could actually compete with a $1000 one.

And what do you think is more fair - wager-based leaderboards, random raffles or highest multiplier races?

As a regular gambler I'm sure they don't really care and don't want to participate in a leaderboard race for prizes that will be easily won by high-class players. Realistic that the prizes up for grabs are not worth what the gambler puts out. Therefore as a gambler should be aware that if the volume of bets is low it is better to simply play with no pressure not to chase anything.
A leaderboard race using the highest multiplier requirement sounds very fair, but how many small gamblers actually manage to get the highest multiplier if the capital he is risking remains small?

Yeah, getting a prize for the highest multiplier could surely be one of the categories but I still think that leaderboard will be dominated by high rollers.
The one's with high capitals will surely win these prizes and it's kinda obvious because the casino sites make their money from such people.
They don't get their profits from people who place low bets but by those who bet with thousands of dollars.
So it's kinda obvious that the casino sites will offer prizes for such people only and try to get them to bet more.

Although this is true but I saw user like @Bitinity and @Royciliik winning Duelbits tournament before that has a lot mega whale players. Some gambler is just good on doing a calculated gambling to gather wagers efficiently even with a less bankroll compared to other whales.

I also won some casino tournament by just having a medium size bankroll and playing hard on the few hours before the tournament end to beat the top spot.

And what do you think is more fair - wager-based leaderboards, random raffles or highest multiplier races?

I think multiplier contest is the most fair contest on the casino since it based on pure luck and bankroll size will just give a slight advantage mainly on longevity of trying to hit a high multiplier.

Random raffles suck since it’s still based on the user’s accumulated tickets and I hate the non-transparent method of choosing the winner.

[Oasisman]

And what do you think is more fair - wager-based leaderboards, random raffles or highest multiplier races?

I think there are some other specific leaderboards and events intended for regular players that doesn't involved high wagering in most casinos. But, don't you think it's just fair to always have this leaderboards for the heavy spenders?
This type of competition works as major part of their marketing strategy, which at the same time a huge benefit for them financially to sustain such kind of racing event. So, this is the reason why we often see wagering contest.

...

I believe random raffles and muilplier races have more sense, since those so not depend on the size of the pocket of gamblers, so regular gamblers with a limited bankroll still have good enough chances to pocket some prize money.

I have personally never participated in gambling races, because I am very aware I stand no chance against whales and rich people who happen to be using the same casino as I am.

It is still possible for a regular and relatively small gambler to win something out of races, but chances and money are against them.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

The casino's are not looking for people who can bet well. They are looking for the people who can loose well. When they do higher wagers like that with huge returns, they don't necessarily want you to win. They just want you to place that big bet and loose it. How else do you think they make their money.

And it's just there, doesn't mean you should bet it. I believe that most of those big bets are not played by anyone. So why are they there, you will ask? I think they are there to create a certain kind of perspection in people's mind that they are people placing such big bets. Whereas their is none.

This may sound rude to some, but regular players have no business chasing such leaderboards because you can't win. You have to just lower your appetite and gamble within your means for the fun of it and what you are enjoying, celebrate your wins, and move on quickly from losses you make.

Operators intentionally have these leaderboards to motivate high rollers who are obsessed with being top in any ranking they are to gamble more. Regular gamblers are not the target, exceept those that get greedy.

Regular players can sound like they are actually the whales or those who play often. But I think you mean by regular is same as normal individuals or those poor players. I am proud to say that I am among those poor players and I was surprised to be included in the top leaderboards before, and I think I earn like 10k or 100k sats. I can't remember the exact amount since it is been a long time already. That was in Primedice when I am working with my VIP level to Bronze. It is possible OP as long as you have a strategic approach.

For me, I just bet minimal amounts like 1k to 10k sats on a relatively low multiplier like 1.08x. That allows me to wager bigger and I can last longer with this cheap trick. There are a couple of casinos I see that has a competition based on multiplier but sadly the bet size still matters on here. For the raffle one, usually we can earn more entry if we play or wager more. And even for a single entry, they can also cost a lot. For example on Stake before, you can earn 1 entry for a $1k wager if I'm not mistaken it.

[Mrbluntzy]

I have not participated in anything like it before. On Stake, I am still unable to rank up to the next rank, no to talk of leaderboard.

I have not participated in such casino race before, but the answer to OP's question is, Yes! Anyone can actually win the race if they mean to and then continue playing in a repeatedly to qualify becoming a winner. Just like you would not want to spend too much money playing, someone else can actually make a decision to win and they might win. But I'm just like you, I don't have too much money to chase winning in such contest. I have not moved to a new rank in the casino I am using as well.

The race challenge is created for all players, but obviously it is dominated by whales, after all, it is all about how much bankroll a player has to commit to wagering.  Those who have deep bankroll can easily out-wage those with a smaller one and that is fact.

All is fair in casino racing, it is the player's shortcoming if he doesn't have enough funds to compete.  And it is just an additional activity for entertainment that does not affect the player's leisure time activity.

Personally i'd rather see a leaderboard based on the highest multiplier or something where a $1 bet could actually compete with a $1000 one.

I think i have seen this kind of leaderboard implemented by some casinos, although it is not a regular event, but it sure gives the smaller bankroll players a chance to win.

And what do you think is more fair - wager-based leaderboards, random raffles or highest multiplier races?

Everything is fair, IMHO.  These options fall in different categories of events, the wager-based leaderboard is one of the bread and butter of the casino.  So it is unfair to them to remove them in place of other leaderboards just because one player thinks that it is not fair.
