Re: When can someone say they have won the casino?
by
danherbias07
on 13/07/2025, 22:21:42 UTC
Simple for me, I'll say that I've won the casino or I've beaten the casino when I made profit (overall) not only in a single gambling session.
Others may say they have beaten the casino when they can stop gambling in the casino once they made a profit and not coming back at all.
However, as long as we keep on playing on the casino while we are still making profit, it is actually we cant beat ourselves (our greed).

I believe that is the truth, or a fact. Unless we stop, we are not yet winners. If we keep on coming back for more, there's always a chance that we might lose whatever amount we won. Worse, we might end up getting more greedy and bet all the profits that we made just to rush the winning amount.

I think those who quit are the real winners after they have made a profit. The urge not to come back is a winning moment against the casino, and as long as we can keep that, we are still winners all the way.

Re: Use simple logic to win in sports betting..

There are some games that only need logic, but not every time. Like what happened in the NBA Finals just recently, many are sure the OKC Thunder will win the championship, and it's actually logically true when you see the difference in players. OKC has more offensive power, although it went to Game 7, but so many basketball analysts are so sure that OKC will win it, and they did.

Still, we must check it first, although we are basing it on logic. Just to make sure, and so we are not wasting money on our bets. I do agree that there are times when the winner is too obvious, but it doesn't mean it will always end up the way it was said. There can be shocking instances, and that's what we should be careful with.

I always gamble alone, I don't rely on anyone but I have not been successful with my bets. Most of the time, the money just goes back and forth because there are many times my emotions still get the better of me, and so I make mistakes.
It's difficult when you become a fan of a team or a player, you tend to make a bet that's not for profit, but is intentionally meant to just support the team. It's wrong and yet sometimes satisfying, especially if they win. Still, there are times I would copy some predictions of other members here because sometimes they are right about their bets.

Re: Thoughts for rest of 2025?

I'm beginning to think that Bitcoin's price is controlled by the economy globally, the price usually rise or fall when something huge is happening in the world or some part of the globe, however, during the first half of the year I have always said or predicted that Bitcoin's price will show a new ATH at $120/$150k on the next half of the year which has started this month July so I feel it's still too early for me to start having a second thought on my prediction as I feel that Bitcoin will do better very soon.
I hope so. Well, knowing how Bitcoin moves, it does have some stagnant times where it will just keep its value for a long time. But, we do have the months of "Ber" where it usually moves. We just don't know if it's up or down. In its records, that is where it gets wild, and I think that's because many small investors are trying to get in, and they will surely invest in Bitcoin with their bonuses, which were given in those months.

I am pretty optimistic that there will be some movements upward. We just have to be patient about it.

Re: How much risk is it worth taking?
by

on 13/07/2025, 09:34:50 UTC
It is not the absolute risk itself that is important, but what is behind the risk. It also matters how real the risk is. I usually use the analogy that if you have to walk through a minefield and you do not know the safe path, your risk is close to 100 percent. That is, the risk of dying is almost 100%. If you know the safe path through the minefield, then your risk is small. You can only die if you deviate from the safe route or forget it. This analogy emphasizes the importance of knowledge. It is very important to have good knowledge before you take significant risks. If your knowledge is exceptional, then the risk is essentially irrelevant - you will succeed. In this type of gambling, knowledge is a good strategy.

I agree. Knowledge will somehow increase our chances of winning and maybe also lessen the risk that we are taking when it comes to gambling. It's our only weapon when it comes to gambling.
Experience comes after it. Those who have learned their lesson, either the tough or easy way, will be more careful with what they decide. We always have a choice of taking the high risk or the lower one, and sometimes the high risk can be more profitable if we know what we are doing, and that's by using the knowledge and experience that we received in the long run.

Re: Is it possible to turn $0.2 into $10,000 in slot and sports games?
by
danherbias07
on 13/07/2025, 08:54:10 UTC
In slots, it is possible, and if you are lucky, you might be able to get it in 100 spins.

My story is turning $0.1 minimum bet to $500 in a slot game called Lab of Lunacy in Stake.com. I think I spent $20 before I received that max win, and I can say it's the most unforgettable thing that happened in my gambling life.
Turning $0.2 only might not be possible, though. You may need a higher amount of capital before you can try to increase your balance. It's not like you will get lucky in one or two rolls because most of the time, it's a losing streak first before a bonus will come.

Oh man, to resort to this, you must be really having a tough time getting the gambling addiction out of your system. I hope you are okay now.

With so many online casinos now, it's really tough to avoid them. Then, even the cash applications today include the gambling games that the government regulates. That's truly messed up, and those who are trying to get out of gambling will have a difficult time recovering. I understand your situation, and I think you are just trying to help yourself avoid gambling, and I really wish this time you will end up quitting it without the urge to gamble again.

I remember having this kind of experience when I was still young. The ones who actually forced us to keep on playing are not just gambling addicts but gangsters, too. We cannot walk away with the winning money because they will just keep on playing, and they will use any means necessary just to keep us from the same space. We cannot even take a pee because they think we will run away.
They are using their watch and keys to their motorcycles as bets which made us more worried that we cannot get away anymore. Luckily, we are playing outside and some friends came over to check on us so we got away.

Re: Memecoins no longer pastime.

This makes a newbie think that he may have a chance to make money by trading memecoins. My advice: Don't jump the gun. Take your time to research and savor that time doing all the homework and checking each meme coin first. Because when you get used to doing it, it gets boring. So, just enjoy it.

I do agree that we can make money out of trading them, but we must also be careful in doing so. When we buy loads of memecoin we are also taking a high risk. This is actually not new anymore, and it happened during the ICO days, where new coins keep on coming out with different projects backing them up, but still, they will either be like bubbles popping or they will lose their value in the short run. That is what we must be careful about.

Re: man up and stop blaming casinos
by

Some gamblers can never stop feeling cheated whenever they lose repeatedly and this leads to a feeling of resentment and unfairness.Gambling have the tendency to impart emotional reactions and regret.Blaming casinos is a way of self defence emotionally to avert their losses and it's been a lifestyle for a lot of gamblers.

There will always be a part of a gambler who thinks he is being cheated by the online casino, and I don't blame them because of the lack of RTP, many times. Let's say a gambler deposited 5000 and bet only 1 per roll. He should expect to be given back at least in the middle of the losses, but if nothing happens and the losing streak continues, this is where doubts and blame will arise.

The gambler will probably think that he is just being robbed and put the blame on the casino, but we all know that's part of their business, although there should be some consideration if they want their customer back. We could always just look for another online casino if that happens. Maybe they did tweak the house edge to their advantage. It just went overboard.

Re: Gambling addiction is not spiritual.
by
danherbias07
on 12/07/2025, 13:45:40 UTC
Science has made a lot of things demystified, there are lots of things that are definitely not spiritual but due to lack of understanding some people think it is. Dopamine for example is something that pushes a lot of people to keep gambling but someone who isn't educated would think it's a spiritual force or something not ordinary. Sometimes dopamine is not the reason for addiction, greed is also a factor

Greed is actually a big factor in gambling addiction, and so is chasing losses. That's the only reason for a gambler to keep on playing, either they want their money back, or they want more after tasting the win.

It's not spiritual, even the high multipliers that will suddenly come are not spiritual. It's all in the algorithm and the consideration of our losses. When a gambler keeps on losing, they tend not to go back, which is why an online casino must give back to preserve a customer. It's a business that wants its patrons to keep on coming back for more, even though the customers are losing in the long run. They won't feel it because of the giving back feature.

Re: right bankroll management keep you in check
by
danherbias07
on 12/07/2025, 11:51:27 UTC
...


You said it all, bankroll management is the step to be qualified to be a responsible gambler, but this is hard to achieve because you would always be tempted to chase your losses at so point and if you are not well disciplined you will fall for this.

Actually, if we talk about casino games (ignoring for a moment sportbetting), bankroll management is the only factor in our session on online casinos we can control as gamblers, because the seed and entropy are completely random and outside of our reach, that is something not all gamblers understand, specially those we are new in this ecosystem.
Anyways, we should also be aware bankroll management is not about managing our money to get profits from the casino or something similar, it is rather a way to extend our session and make our money to last longer so we can have more fun and thrill with the same amount.

In the long term, the casino will take it all, as it has the house edge on its side.

This is actually one of the hardest parts while playing in an online casino. Slots and casino games. To prolong the playing time. Why? Because I feel like the house edge is getting higher once they are licensed, especially in local online casinos.
I have played slots for a long time, and I have never seen myself playing hours with just my minimum deposit. It always just takes minutes, and it's all gone even though I am betting for the minimum amount.

Plus, they also do not reveal the RTP anymore, so it's more likely that our funds will be gone so fast. I guess part of bankroll management is also finding the right game that gives back using a good percentage of RTP.

Re: Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?

If a gambling company is proven to be targeting student players, it must be dealt with.
There are standard rules that gambling companies must abide by, one of which is the age of +18.
If the company has implemented all the rules including +18 but the users who register to play do not prevent it, I think that's the problem.

I think there are still many student players who are not +18 who play without the knowledge of their parents. If the casino enforces KYC, it can be avoided because they don't hold an identity card yet.

Yeah, that's correct. The KYC needs to be strict about this because there are so many underage individuals now that are slipping through this rule by using fake IDs or their older friend's identification.
Then, there are online casinos now that don't require KYC unless you win a big amount, where they will need the details before a gambler can withdraw the funds. I managed to play in one of our local online casinos without KYC for a month, and I was just withdrawing small amounts. If that can happen, I am sure many kids are playing in the same online casino because they can get away from KYC rules.

Re: Most gamblers are actually lucky. The problem is, they were unable to cashout.

I agree that it will haunt you for hours or maybe even for a day, but I don't think it will haunt you forever unless it's a very big win that you are unable to withdraw.

It's a problem with most gamblers, and I won't be a hypocrite to say I didn't have that kind of attitude. I did. It's not easy to be satisfied when you hit a win, especially if it's not enough or it doesn't hit your planned winning amount.
If it's a big win, better withdraw a big portion out first and just keep playing afterward. That way, we won't be spending too much, and we will have time to think twice if we will deposit again after we deplete the remaining balance that we left after the withdrawal.

Re: 2025 NBA Season

Last night was the Mavericks-Lakers game at the NBA Summer League.
Many people wanted to compare Flagg and Bronny.
But what I don't understand is why they're comparing Bronny to Flagg.
Flagg is a superstar prospect, while Bronny is just an average player.

Here are the stats from last night's game:

Flagg: 10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals
Bronny: 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists

I received the notification on my phone about these, but I sincerely do not have any interest, so I didn't open it. No disrespect to Bronny, but a big part of the reason he was there was his father. He has not proved anything yet.
Flagg, on the other hand, is a rookie, and we don't know yet what he can contribute to his team in the NBA, but still, I believe he will be like Paolo Banchero, who will lift his team up.

I think the NBA just wants to make a rivalry out of them, but the truth is that they are doing it wrong. Lebron is a great star without any doubt, but they don't need to use his son to gain audience. There are so many good young players today.

Re: See No gambling Hear no gambling Talk No gambling for strict regulation?

It will not help. It will just encourage illegal gambling.

There's actually a good solution to this, and that is to increase the taxes from those who are running the business and not the players. That way, there will be fewer online casino providers in the country.
Making it illegal will simply lead to more online casinos going underground, which in turn means more scam websites that will only last a few weeks before disappearing if they sense government scrutiny.

IMHO, they are not doing it diplomatically. There's always a way to discourage people and businesses from gambling, and that's if it becomes more expensive.

Re: Which is more addicting?
by
danherbias07
on 11/07/2025, 15:35:47 UTC

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

From my experience, I would say slots are more addictive than sport betting, for sport betting I think it’s going to take a considerable amount of time before you start moving towards addiction and that has to do with how frequently you gamble but with slots, you tend not to do any strenuous activities such as analysing, all you have to do is go to your account make deposits and start spinning and before you know what’s happening you’d run out of balance and then you’ll see yourself wanting to make another deposit.

That's what I think, too. There's no thinking in slots. You just rely on the algorithm that was given to you, and if you lose everything, there's a chance you will deposit again until you spend a lot of money, and you cannot accept the losses anymore, so you will keep on betting.

I don't think that happens in sports betting, plus there's rest time. If a gambler is only betting on one game, the NBA, for example, he will have a 24-hour rest before a game starts again. There's a lot of time to think about betting again, and we calmed down, unlike how it goes with slots.

Re: Betting on the impossible

This got me thinking how sometimes betting on the impossible could give you insane benefits. I know this will not happen all the time but those who had chosen to bet on Hulkenberg that day for fun got insanely lucky and won big.

Sometimes in betting it happens that I suddenly bet on the underdog but it wins immediately. Sometimes the underdogs are very good and lucky and it also works in the favor of the gamblers that I think luck helps and can win in a hurry.
I have won crazy games twice, I have been researching football matches for a long time but I could not predict the future in favor of the strong team in any way. And I bet on the underdog thinking that I will lose, and I wake up and see that I have won a lot of money. I am very lucky and consider myself lucky.


But you cannot always rely on luck. There are underdogs who can truly win their games, and all you need to do is try to look for them. I have also won betting on underdogs many times, and that's because I really trust that team to win their game using the stats and history. Rivalries could also affect the game since many players can be more competitive if they are playing against their rival.

Truly, underdog betting can be profitable, but we still have to be careful with our bets and if possible maximize the usage of the spreads if needed.

Re: Banning gambling, would this solve the problem?
by

on 11/07/2025, 13:07:37 UTC
Gambling addiction is not the only problem associated with gambling activity and gamblers in your country, if a senate should start making an initiative first then it shows the government is in support. Reasons should be outlined why gambling is bad or banning gambling permanently, we all know gamblers struggle with addiction but it’s a general problem and if your government decides to take action it’s actually not bad but the fact ban is seen as an option. Asking if banning gambling will solve any problem hell no rather jobless citizens will find another means of addiction except they create something meaningful then educate citizens on addiction.

Hmmm. They should consider that too. It's like what happened during the pandemic. Many people became jobless because of the contact rule, and the gambling industry was one that was greatly affected because of its way of doing business.
It's true that many people could lose their jobs if gambling is banned in one country, but if there's a high percentage of people getting addicted to gambling, then I think it's also best if it can be regulated. They cannot just let their citizens become poor and let these businesses take all the money. It will become a bigger problem for the economy of one country.

Congratulations. Super Bonus! Damn! That could've been better if you got lucky.

Anyway, a win is still a win, so I guess we will just have to be thankful for it. Many slot players cannot even hit a super bonus while grinding, and you got it with just some rolls. That's still good luck.
I have played in other slot providers so I don't know that game yet, I might try it later. It looks like a fun game and I hope I get the same results as you did. Cheesy
