Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.
I wouldn't let a minor gamble. They're not mature enough for it. And if they play secretly and enter their ID, the casino will probably notice and end up banning their account. The money will be lost, and it's quite right, since they're breaking the casino's rules.
There are a ton of reasons why casinos prohibit minors, so sooner or later they'll be banned.

It is best to quit when you start to see signs that it is becoming an addiction. You can notice if gambling causes anxiety, stress, or discomfort. Generally, you tend to have excessive losses, so I recommend you escape from that situation and focus on other things to change your behavior. Generally, if you stop in time, you will avoid falling into addiction and be able to play again in a controlled manner.
I recently hit a crazy multiplier x5601 on Sweet Bonanza. Just a small bonus buy and ended up winning $400 after the x1000 bomb dropped and hit. I’ve been enjoying it since then, though I don’t spend a lot of hours playing.
But ever since that win, it kinda feels like I’m slowly giving the money back. Been losing around $10 a day for the past week. I’m still in profit, but honestly, I’m starting to lose the excitement. The game doesn’t feel the same anymore.

If you are starting to lose, which is normal since you can't win all the time, you can always take a break while your streak of bad luck ends, since from what you mention you are not enjoying it completely, or maybe you should look at other alternatives, maybe your luck will change if you take a break and start enjoying it once again.
I think the cards are stacked in Ousmane Dembélé's favor. He deserves it for all his achievements, although I have another player I'd like to see there, and that's Vítor Ferreira. I don't think Lamine has achieved enough to deserve a Ballon d'Or. I think there's just media overvaluation going on here. Maybe he'll do better in the future, since he's young and has promising talent.
There are enough more urgent classical problems that are moving away from QC at the moment to focus 100% on quantum technology. I think that when quantum is a possible problem, this will probably already be well posed in Bitcoin and in classical cryptography in general. I think that not only Bitcoin depends on this but all current security in the world, so believe me, the arrival of quantum rather than a concern will end up being an improvement for information security.
Re: Are online Casinos more rigged than physical Casinos like in Las Vegas?
I think there's been a lot of talk lately about cheating or fixing bets. This is always going to be a possibility whether we like it or not. Whether it's an online casino or a brick-and-mortar establishment, it doesn't matter; cheating can happen in both. But cheating isn't as easy as just saying it, since these sites are often audited or monitored.
So you can rest assured that almost always, whether you win or lose, it's largely due to your own luck.

Re: Visited physical casinos to have real life experience and guess what?
It rather depends on the casino. In theory, both should be equally transparent since they are generally certified and regulated by external agents. Perhaps I think a better comparison would be to compare the experience of playing at this location with the experience of playing online. And there I do think there is a noticeable difference, although whoever prefers that depends on their tastes.
The difficult thing is not knowing if the teams will have a series of higher or lower points, we notice that just by observing who competes, the difficulty lies in the precision with which the bet is established, since this is always well calculated so that the success line always comes close on average to reality, I do not know what statistical software they use but they have an incredible precision to mark the line between winning or losing.
I wouldn't bet on something like that; it's subject to too many variables, and I have no idea how such a bet would play out.
I also think this could lend itself to match-fixing, because many people close to the players involved will be able to know the results well in advance, which could lead them to take their money from the bookmakers.

From the Day Gambling was Introduced in my Life up until today. I always ask how do game developers/owners run a game?
so here I am, has na Idea of a perfect Game/app I discovered from years of experience that it never existed in any platform/gambling site but existed and played in the ghetto that must be created to satisfy gamblers in a win win situation but I don't know where to start.I have few questions actually but this is what I want to know first.
Let's say for example, I created a game and I want it to be played in a gambling site? like who should I contact?

Most casinos rely on specialized companies for this. They aren't the creators of their own games, nor do they have control over them. They do this both to maintain transparency in the game and to avoid losing money due to any type of bug or bias that may be present.
These games aren't just about creating the game and that's it; there's math and statistics behind it, and they're tested to prove it.
Unlike most people, I've never used BTC for gambling. I don't want to devalue Bitcoin. There are other, more common alternatives that can be used for gambling without fear of privacy issues regarding your assets. Furthermore, with the laws some countries are beginning to impose regarding in-game transactions, I prefer to leave my addresses out and use another, more disposable method.
Re: Should religion speak on gambling for the whole country?
If I am not wrong Philippines is a democratic nation so they can't simply force a rule because it's considered as sin in a particular region but indirectly that's what the democracy is, what most people want will be chosen. To answer the question, the government should not intervene into something because majority don't want that while the leaders need their support so they will do things that can satisfy the belief system of most if not everyone, for them the number of votes matters more than what country is leading into.
Exactly, imposing rules based on religion would be a Theocracy, so I don't think the rules in a democratic country are guided by religion, all politicians in democratic countries are only interested in votes, although these rules should follow a more productive approach for the country, since religions tend to have many biases, and rules such as dress codes, and other things that are out of step with current events.
Re: Why is it that most popular casinos use a black and green color combination?
I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question, but I just wanted to ask since I don’t really have an online group where I can talk about stuff like this seriously. This is just based on something I’ve noticed…
why is it that most popular casinos use a black and green color combination? Is there some kind of science or psychology behind it? Does it actually attract more gamblers? just thought I’d throw the question out there, who knows, maybe one day I get lucky and open my own casino (daydreaming
).

).I guess it depends on the site designer and the requirements made by the owners, since if the online site belongs to, for example, a casino that has not ventured into the web and its aesthetics are with a distinctive color green and black, generally the site will share a theme inspired by the brand, if it is not the case that the casino already has a physical location, and is born directly dedicated 100% to the online, I think that maybe green is used because it symbolizes money, the rest is pure aesthetics, in addition to the fact that the designers are mostly inspired by other already established sites, it does not surprise me that there is a "Las Vegas" effect.
Re: Creating a transaction at the same exact second as another one
he only has to include it with higher fees
Should use equal fee fee rate, if the purpose is both transactions are included in the same block. If he's talking about an addr that's been dormant and he just wants to monitor where the funds are being sent, I don't think it has anything to do with whether they're mined in the same block or not; the blockchain already handles that.
But if he's monitoring the dust transaction for other purposes and wants to include it in the next block together, it's not really a question of setting the same fee being the most effective. Instead, it needs to be a better-developed bot that quickly builds the dust transaction dynamically based on the size of the transaction being monitored. The fee depends on whether the bot assumes you have a fast parameter or if it checks every x seconds.
If it doesn't monitor in real time, setting more fees gives it a better chance of both being included equally.
Re: Ultrasound Brain "Zapping" Treatment for Gambling addiction!?
Science never ceases to amaze us with its advances, but I understand that the human brain isn't fully understood, so something like this could have many negative consequences. What if, instead of just reducing your addiction, you ended up becoming depressed and nothing satisfies you? I've seen some drugs make people feel dizzy, so I continue to believe it's better to use proven techniques such as willpower, abstinence, and commitment to avoid these types of things, since addictions are usually mitigated by the habits we have.
I remember that I used to smoke a lot, and since I started exercising, I need cigarettes less and less.

It's not comparable, since the risk that some governments can assume may vary, but I believe that governments generally focus more on a global assessment, one that affects the country, and not on what affects specific individuals. More than anything, it's linked to economic and social situations rather than the risk itself of each thing. And regarding the political issue, imagine a country with a culture where drinking alcohol is customary at every celebration. This translates into more brands of alcohol, more jobs, and more money for the country. If the government were to take it away, it would translate into economic losses and social discontent, something that no politician wants to happen because it would be bad publicity, of course, unless it's a tyranny where those who make the rules don't care about the opinion of the people.
This type of proposal raises many red flags, making the post suspicious.

Re: Bitcointalk ProfileAnalyzer & Rank ProgressTracker 4 Newbies & Existing Members
I just tried it and it worked without problems, everything was fine, although in two tests I did, in one it appeared to me at 79% completed for my next rank, and in the second it appeared to me at 87%, which would make sense if there had been changes in my account, or I had received merits recently but that is not the case, I recommend you carefully review how you are managing those percentages, for the rest, thanks for the initiative!
Thank you boss for the feedback and observation as well. I have fixed that issue it was coming from the formula used and i have made the correction so the system should now handle the percentage calculation accurately.
You should consider the activity in percentage, since this is an important factor to calculate the real progress, since maybe you have 300 merits for example and 150 of activity, therefore both figures must be considered for the calculation of progress, I don't know if you already do it, but in Python it would be something like this:
Code:
def calculate_real_progress(merit, activity):
ranks = [
{"name": "Full Member", "min": 100, "max": 250},
{"name": "Senior Member", "min": 250, "max": 500},
{"name": "Hero Member", "min": 500, "max": 1000},
{"name": "Legendary Member","min": 1000, "max": float("inf")}
]
for i in range(len(ranks) - 1):
current = ranks[i]
next_rank = ranks[i + 1]
if merit < next_rank["min"] or activity < next_rank["min"]:
span = next_rank["min"] - current["min"]
merit_pct = ((merit - current["min"]) / span) * 100
activity_pct = ((activity - current["min"]) / span) * 100
merit_pct = max(0, min(100, merit_pct))
activity_pct = max(0, min(100, activity_pct))
real_pct = (merit_pct + activity_pct) / 2
missing_pct = 100 - real_pct
return {
"current_rank": current["name"],
"next_rank": next_rank["name"],
"merit_pct": round(merit_pct, 2),
"activity_pct": round(activity_pct, 2),
"real_pct": round(real_pct, 2),

Nothing replaces the extra excitement that comes from playing with other people, but whether you like it or not depends entirely on each person and what the game is, because there are games that don't require you to be with other people, and to have fun with them I prefer to be alone, and make my decisions alone, I don't like to be influenced by the opinions of others, but that doesn't mean that there are games that are better enjoyed in the company of a couple of friends, and even that encourage connecting with new people.
