Re: Government agency’s reliance on online gambling

So that's why the RTP is so low on local online casinos here in our country. It's because they are taking a lot of money from them.

Well, this just made me puke, and from now on, I won't be playing in the local online casinos. It's just too much. You won't even feel like a winner even for a moment. Most are losing streaks, and you don't feel any RTP coming from thousands of bets on their slot games.
Truly, when the government is connected with something, they will take advantage of it, and now they are making lots of money from online casinos. Wow.

Re: Slots games upgrade Questions

They don't discard if there are still players playing the game. But they do upgrade the features. Not the images ( I have not seen one yet). I remember back then, the only fast forward in Pragmatic Play was to hold the spin button. Now, they have that arrow under the screen, and you can play fast without even holding the spin button.

No, I don't think upgrades affect the loyalty of players. In fact, it could boost their playing time by trying to understand how the new game works.

I believe developing new ones is much better. They need new games because the old ones will start to get boring to players. If they just keep on upgrading one, I don't think many players will stay.

Re: Who do you blame?

So, unfortunately, gambling is based on luck. i am not the best person to say this since i am not good at math, but i think it's important to understand that casinos don't randomly play losing games. They expect to make a profit, and so in my opinion, the payout percentage isn't exactly fair.
Well you cannot  blame the casino completely at the same time because for them too they are out there to make profits and ofcourse the gamblers will have to loose a game for them to start counting their profits as a business.  As a gambler it is important to understand this and  make sure to protect yourself that you are not loosing to the point you have to start looking for whom to throw the blames at securing you feel you were deserving of a win and lost, knowing you are depending on luck ti an extent, you should put to consideration that you are going  to manage your bankroll to the point  whereby you do get chance with your bankroll been in the best position to make you money and not you loosing all to the casino at once.

That's correct. It is important that we understand that they mean business, which also means that they are going to make profits, and it will come from the gamblers. Not the other way around.
If we can accept this fact as soon as possible, it's easier to accept losses because we know they are not a charity that will just hand out some money for us. If we are lucky enough, we can win and walk away. But if we come back, that's when mistakes could happen. All we can do is rely on luck and be wise about the winnings. We can always be a winner if we don't come back. That way, we won't be blaming anyone afterwards.

Re: Should politicians gamble?

Still a no. Let's say they are responsible gamblers, but the urge will remain, and that single, minimal spark could ruin it all. He may use the funds that are meant for the people or for projects and infrastructures, which is why they are not allowed to gamble.

Then, it's called public service for a reason. To serve the public. To be a leader. To be a person that they will look up to. If they are gambling, then it wouldn't fit the criteria as a public servant. Actually, that is the one missing criterion in most of the politicians now. They want the position for power and gains, and not to serve.

Re: Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?
by

OP your choice of word (brainless) makes no sense, tagging it to slot games like dice and the rest sounds awkward cause when you gamble you actually make use of your brain to think of possible moves that would make you win, most slots games like dice require the use of your brainc, you need to be smart to even be able to win most of those slot games so I wonder why you think they're brainless, no offense but I wonder whether you don't use your brains to gamble or play slot games, incase you don't know I want you to understand the answer to your question is no, slot games doesn't make anyone look dumb regardless of whether they're skill-based or not.

I think OP used a wrong word but what he was trying to relate it with are games that doesn't require any strategy for the gambler to win, just games that completely rely on luck. As far as gambling is concerned, I don't think there's any game that is brainless, though many casino games doesn't work with any strategy but it doesn't make the game brainless and does not also dull someone unless the person in not even interested in the game.

I agree. They are not brainless games. Even slot games require understanding how the game works so that we will know if we are winning or not. It helps if someone has an idea of what is playing, and so I think it's not making a gambler dull or anything.

Anyway, if we want to be more analytical, we can always pick games that require analysis. Sports betting or poker. Those types of games are not an easy type of play because of how deep the game could be. In poker, even the change of facial expression could mean something.

Re: How much is enough for you in a day gambling
by
danherbias07
on 03/09/2025, 15:05:41 UTC
My answer to the main question of the topic about "how much can I play per day" depends on what type of gambling I choose, because I am attracted to almost all types of gambling and even betting.
If I want to play poker, for example, I can sit for literally several hours, it is even possible that it will take almost the whole day if I participate in some big tournament. Several times I even left such tournaments, because I sat until about 3:00 in the morning. I no longer had any strength to continue this, although I was interested, but I really wanted to sleep.
Oohh, how I miss playing poker tournaments. Yes, that is true. Back then, before the pandemic, we always went to a poker room every Saturday night, and we would end up going home Sunday morning.

It is true. It depends on the game that is being played. I play slots, and I can still sleep at night while playing them. Unlike how it is with poker games, with different people you can talk with while waiting for your turn. It's truly amazing how long you can stay at night until morning if you really love the game that you are playing.

Re: Warning : Don’t Ever Let Others Use Your KYC in Gambling Sites

Never ever do this. You will regret it later on.

It's true that it can be used in fraud and not just in online casinos, but it could also be used for other evil works. Giving up our KYC means all our information with it. That includes our identification, which has lots of information about us. Our own photo is in there, and they can even try to guess our passwords using our date of birth. It's risky, actually super risky, and it must not be done.
Let them work harder by hacking us and not giving our information just for a bit of money that is going to be our problem in the future.

Re: Collusion in poker games

on 03/09/2025, 10:38:55 UTC
Well, in terms of online, I think it is hard to do unless you are on a Discord call or something. I'm not much of a poker player, but what is the benefit of having collusion? Most likely, it is to gang up on one player? I mean, that's just really unfair.

I don't think any technology right now is capable of detecting that because there are different connections to a game, maybe just randomized to joining of games or something.

Even in a Discord call or a Video group, it can still be done. All they need is another messaging app to do the trick.

Truly, this is unethical, and all we can do is make sure that every player doesn't know each other. It's tough to do that, especially if these people are targeting players and would just fake their connection to each other.
Well, if we are doubting, it's best if we just go to a physical poker room and play there. Face-to-face, they won't be able to do that without someone noticing it.

Re: is age a factor?

on 03/09/2025, 06:12:08 UTC
scatter game or this gambling game in the philippines that the government had to intervene in between because it was getting very popular and many citizens are gett addicted

some said that it’s because the philippines is a poor country and that’s why they get addicted easily but is it possible that most gamblers who got addicted are old people past retirement and have nothing else to do anymore?

For me, this has nothing to do with poverty. Scatter games are simply too convenient to access here in the Philippines, which is why so many people have become hooked. Thankfully, the government stepped in, and the payment app has now unlinked all gaming platforms from its system.

I've seen people of all ages gambling on this game, so I don't think age is a factor either.

Age is not a factor. That is true. I see a lot of young people playing the slot games, or what they call "scatter" here in the country. It's actually growing even when the government stepped in. Why? Because all the popular local casinos have made an Android application that will make it easy for gamblers.

I think the only wall now is the KYC requirement, which is very strict. You need to upload an ID picture, fill out the sign-up form, and take a selfie. This could minimize the number of minors who are gambling.

Re: When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?
by
danherbias07
on 03/09/2025, 03:08:20 UTC
When I place sports bets, I like to study the statistics of previous games, check the lineup, and consider the importance of the match. If I’m unsure about the odds, I’ll most likely avoid betting. Only if I want to watch the game and make it more exciting, I might place a small bet. I rarely go for pure luck, and usually, I don’t win that way.

And injuries, too. Don't forget about that. Wink We must check it all if we want to increase the chance of our winning. But you are right, if we are unsure about what we are going to bet, then we might as well just take a pass. It's not like there will be no other games the next day, and we will avoid losing something that could've been used for the next game to come.

Regarding luck-based games, I have played way too many slot games in different providers, and all I can say is that it can become a waste of money in the long run.

The Denver Nuggets have the seventh-best odds to win the title in the 2025-26 season and the fifth-best amongst Western Conference teams.  ~Sports Illustrated

Just a couple years ago Denver looked ready to win several championships. Are they in position to be a real contender this year?

They already traded Michael Porter Jr., so I guess they are ready to rebuild and surround Jokic with new players for another title shot. Cam Johnson is a shooter and also a good defender, and is almost the same as MPJ. But I think the reason behind the trade is MPJ being an injury-prone player, and with a healthy Jokic, they need players who could also play almost the whole season.

Then, they now have Jonas Valanciunas for more resting time for Jokic. I think they are still in a good position for a playoff spot, but the young guns of the OKC Thunder are still scary.

Re: gambling and divorce
by

on 02/09/2025, 23:30:42 UTC
I dont see gambling as a direct reason for divorce. I believe that it should be a collection of problems and moments for one person to take a decision to divorce. Divorce just because a person is gambling, then there were no true love between people. If relationship are based only on the money, that is so wrong. Divorce if a person loses too much, and marry because a person has won a lot. That is so low.

If it's too much, then I think it could all come down to divorce. I mean, there are gamblers who are already having problems with their family due to their bad habit, but they fuel it more by not stopping to gamble. This could lead to more stress for the partner, and even if they gave them a chance to change over and over again but it won't happen. I think it could really lead to separation.

There's a limit on what a human can take when talking about stress. When it's too much, they will break down and will decide without thinking. Anger. If the gambler doesn't change, he is the one who is not in love anymore, not the one deciding to leave him.

I love how Alperen dominates the game. i can't wait to see what Turkiye will do against Serbia.

Yeah, finally they will meet tomorrow. Both are 4-0, and this game will tell who is stronger. I am a big fan of Sengun and voted for him in the NBA All-Star. That dude has unique skills just like Jokic, can dominate the game both on defense and offense, even as a big man.

Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated Greece 80-77, handing them their first defeat in the group stage.

I thought it was a huge surprise.

The odds of Bosnia and Herzegovina winning were very low. I didn't dare bet on Bosnia and Herzegovina winning. I regretted it when I saw the match result.

Without Giannis, that will happen. I didn't watch the game, so I am curious if Giannis was out hours before the game or if it was a sudden injury report. I am sad for those who took the bet for Greece if it is a sudden report. Regarding the injury, it was said to be knee discomfort.

Re: Excitement in gambling and How to Control Yourself ?
by
danherbias07
on 02/09/2025, 15:51:48 UTC
I can gamble with control over myself and I can take a break from gambling at any time, I think this is a good aspect of gambling for me. I am different from other gamblers where once they start gambling they cannot stop or lose a lot of money. Now the question may arise that how did I change myself so much. First of all, I am quite careful about my money and I think that money has to be earned by working hard so if you lose money in a moment, it will not be good at all. That is why I think several times before placing a bet or gambling and what the result can be or how much money can be lost, only after thinking about all these things, I decide to gamble. It is not that I always win, rather many times the result goes against me but I accept it naturally because in gambling you have to gamble with money. However, how much risk is actually taken by who is taking the risk of money is also a very big issue.
That's true. It is rare for a gambler to have control over himself, especially if you are so hooked on the games. Slot games usually. This is a type of game that is nonstop and a gambler can easily be addicted to it due to the reason that it can be played 24/7.

One big win in slots with a multiplier that exceeds x5000 can make a gambler lose control. It can boost his idea about the possibility of winning max wins in the game, and he will try other slot games just to seek another sweet win. Experience can sometimes harm us when we receive such great wins. It's best if we can control that emotion and stop the idea of winning more because it's almost impossible to have a win streak like that.

Re: Value bets

The thing about value bets is that they are tough to find. Some even avoid this kind of strategy because it's prone to manipulation. You say they are mostly in small leagues, that's where rigging mostly happens, so it's best if we either avoid them or have someone inside that will feed us the results.

When that happens, they are not value bets anymore. You might lose your bets because someone or some group is behind the scenes to control everything and that's also why there are fewer gamblers who place their bets there. I'd rather take the risk in professional sports because rigging can hardly happen.

Re: How do you handle tilt during a losing streak?

Take a long rest.

Anyway, I didn't know they call that "tilt". I just call it simply a losing streak. Cheesy I searched about it and it's mostly used in poker. Whenever this happens, I will stand up and shake off all the bad luck. But, it doesn't mean I will go back to betting again because I think it could just be the same over and over again. It's much better if I could just take the day off and try again the next day.

Re: Is Bitcoin Gambling a big opportunity or a big trap?
by
danherbias07
on 02/09/2025, 11:46:49 UTC
You know what. A decade ago or five years or more ago, we don't mind about gambling with our Bitcoins. We didn't know that it's value is going to be as big as it is today. So, I don't think that gambling with it is a trap. The effect that it has given us is more of a regret than a trap. There is no trap if we're not doing anything. And with this, it only means that we're gambling to have fun and as well as to take some profits if possible. Someone who's going to gamble with Bitcoin is also about to win/lose Bitcoin. It will make that gambler happier if he's won with Bitcoins, so there's no trap there and no bias should be applied.
In short, it's still a choice for every gambler whether they will risk their Bitcoin or keep it for themselves and let the value increase normally.

Some gamblers are also investors in Bitcoin. Let's consider them. What some would want is to increase the number of Bitcoins in their portfolio, and if they cannot buy more due to lack of finances, then I believe there's a chance they will think about gambling it. To accumulate more. I have had that kind of perspective before, and I gambled a lot of Bitcoin in the early stages of it because I wanted to hoard more. It's wrong, and yet it feels right if you double the amount of Bitcoin that you have.

Re: Parlays vs straight bets

on 02/09/2025, 10:54:15 UTC
Straight bets.

Parlays are way too risky. Sometimes we make it a "shoot for the moon" type of parlay which is why it gets harder to win those types of bets. But you are right about the fun part that a parlay gives. It's exciting to see that you are winning your bets slowly, and the multiplier is increasing wildly.

I made a lot of bets in sports betting, and I can say most of my winning tickets came from straight bets. It's very rare for me to win a parlay because sometimes that one leg will ruin it all.

Re: How quickly do you forget a loss

on 01/09/2025, 14:28:12 UTC
Talking about how quickly forget loss depend have capital for deposit and get win or not? if don't have capital seems get longer time forget loss if after redepositing again and win bigger than loss easily forget loss. However for gambler allocated how much for gambling and its easily forgetting loss when betting but not get win. If you use fund deposit without allocated how much I think difficult you can forget how much loss and actually need day by day forgetting how much have losses.
For experience gamble its normal about how much loss and win, its not matter for them one day loss because the next will win so easily forgetting when loss position.

It's not always about experience, sometimes even experienced gamblers might find it difficulty to forget about a loss, this happens when they gamble with an amount of money that they cannot afford to lose. Experience doesnt cover everything most times this is the reason why it's emphasized constantly for gamblers to always stake what they can afford to lose

Yeah, actually, it is the other way around. Experienced players know the system, so it will be more hurtful to them if they lose beyond their budget. I mean, if they have an idea of when the RTP should take place and it didn't, they will also be frustrated about it.

Not all experienced gamblers can handle the stress, and because they think of themselves as pros in the industry, their pride will win, and they can get reckless in the process. I like it better when a gambler thinks of himself as just a regular gambler. Accepting defeat to avoid more losses. Walking out after a win. Can easily move on from a loss and will never take an aggressive move.

Re: Do you flex on your pals when you are correct
by
danherbias07
on 01/09/2025, 13:16:28 UTC
Yes, but it's true, but you can refused and resist from giving them money or loaning it out. If we flip the case, do you think that they will do the same for you? So for me, it's ok to flex and that's part of your friendship right? Sometimes you troll them and you try to rub it in.

But you will only have the courage to be on the receiving end, just saying. If you can't take that, then don't give it, simply as that. As for borrowing money, maybe sometimes I will do that to my friends but not big amount, just enough to scratch his itch and gamble specially in sports betting.

I agree with that. It's a sporty flex. It's not like you are trying to step on them. Friends do that, especially the real ones. I do flex my winnings with my friends because most of us are fans of the same sport. They will understand me, and they do the same whenever they win something.

Whenever someone flexes their winnings, instead of being treated like a slap on us, it actually boosts our confidence in winning some bets. If it's a parlay, much better. It becomes a source of energy to try and win the risky bets, just like whoever flexed it. I guess it's because it's rare for a gambler to win games, which is why it's exciting to see the tickets of those who won.
