There are a lot of people posting here. In most of threads related to sportsbetting, most user just discuss about the match, how player performed, how they could perform etc but very few person discuss about odds, chances of winning a team and other factors related to bet.
Is it possible that most people only discuss here to fulfill their signature requirement? In my case, I don’t play games at casino. I used to play back in the day but not anymore while I'm still having sportsbet on most of the matches.
Be honest and share about you whether you post only for your signature requirement or you post because you are involved in gambling & you want to know or share knowledge.

I am genuinely visiting this section because there are some good fellow members who share their own strategy and it is good learning every day. Earlier I used to hate slots but after watching some of the users sharing their bets and luck, I am quite addicted to slots, not in the wrong way though. I am well in control of my gambling.

If you see the Wimbledon thread people have shared some cool information there about which player is doing better since not all of us can follow the whole Wimbledon so we get roughly an idea which player is playing how. I play casino games and make sports bet too so it's good that both kinds of gamblers are here.

There was a bet shared here some days ago where someone won million dollars with just $15 parlay, was insane and I am trying my luck on parlays since I saw that lol.

I always post my bets so i'm somewhat involved in gambling and at the same time have some discussion whenever there's nothing to bet on. I don't think there's anything wrong about having gambling discussions with other users that haven't gamble since it's not a requirement and you can experience the same thing now that some of the casinos offer free coins or demo mode.

I guess one example of what OP meant is the NBA thread where there's less betting discussion I remember there's a discussion about it in Meta.

I think that it will be more to the personal opinions and also choices.
I am also pretty sure that some of them are not real gamblers, but only focusing on making posts in order to meet certain criteria.
however, some of those also feel the difference, whether they may be interested in the certain platforms of gambling because of this requirement to post in gambling.
However, does it matter if we are making good posts and not belong to shitposters with this kind of condition?
I think that as long as the posts are not spamming or even shitposting, it is no problem.
And moreover, we don't know whether somebody may not change after knowing this kind of simple thing.

So you think life is a gamble? I laughed a little at this. Life is a choice, we can predict with common sense when we are adults. I think it is very far to compare life with gambling activities. If you believe in the creator of the world then you must believe our path is already set but we can try to change that path by trying. Unlike gambling, we guess and we just surrender to the final result.

I mean isn't it? Heck, the moment you can already say that that was a result of a gamble. Not about parents making children or whatnot, but rather the situation your family was in when you were born. Also creator of the world? Set path? Kinda bs since you're already contradicting yourself. The path was already set and yet you "can" try to change it? Then there was originally no path in the first place, it was just you blaming a probably non-existent being for whatever situations that happened that wasn't your fault.

That would be very important to me as a company commissioning a signature campaign, too, honestly.

If you actively advertise a product and are paid very well for it, you should also be able to identify with the product. Some time ago, a screenshot was circulating here where a user explained that he doesn't like gambling at all, but at the same time wore a gambling signature. Of course, something like that should absolutely not happen, it's like me wearing a McDonalds shirt and telling on the street how harmful fast food is ...

Still happened though Grin

. Well, nothing we can do about that, advertisements are that kind of type, after all, even if you don't really like them, you still gotta do it since it pays you. A McDonald's shirt certainly doesn't pay you, so I don't really think it matters much when compared to advertising.

I play gambling but not very often because at today's pace of life free time that can be spent on entertainment remains less and less. If a person learns to count his free time in man-hours, he can easily calculate the real cost of entertainment. And very often it turns out that a favorite game is too expensive.

People could engage in gambling but might find it difficult to discuss about it. And most gamblers prefer discussing the match alongside the performance of the sports athletes or players other than the outcome of their bet. Some prefer to discuss their winnings by sharing what the got from their predictions so different persons react to gambling discussion thread differently because life now exist more online than in physical interaction

That's right, but with that difference it also makes it easier for me to get any information that I don't know about here. So, regardless of whether they are just sharing information or just discussing without having a bet, I don't think it will be a problem because after all, having this gambling discussion can at least help them to consider whether to bet or not At least that's how I feel so far, when someone talks about a gambling game or a sports match that I didn't know before, but after I got that information it could be a consideration for me to try betting or not.

I consider myself a gambler but not very much into sports betting I prefer playing dice, hi-lo slot, crash games, and similar games that are ruled by luck and control, the only advice that I can give to newbies and fellow gamblers are reminders to only play what you can afford to lose and to allocate spare times and not all of your time because this can leads to gambling addiction, anything you do with a big amount of time will become addiction and gambling is a serious addiction.

Personally, it was through signature campaigns that I started playing at all (back then through the Windice campaign) and I still play to this day. Although only for minimal amounts but it still makes me a lot of fun.

But you were already active in gambling discussions? If not, lucky for you to have gotten hired despite not having any prior gambling experience. A lot of gambling signature campaigns require that participants be already active on gambling discussions even before applying for a slot.

Short answer to your first point: ALL IN! Tongue

Probably a ride or die move. Something like that lol.

Quote from: mv1986 on July 06, 2021, 03:15:50 PM

As for your second point, that is very true. If you say you are a gambler and you are talking to someone who doesn't gamble chances are high that that person thinks you have an addiction. Even if you play a round of poker for $10 every now and then you are a gambler but by far no addict.

Well, that's just it, you wouldn't know what someone is going through as well and unless you observe it or admits it. Oh well, just control your urges and have control over what you are doing. Especially emotions.

This board doesn't just cover gamblers alone it's a discussion board for sports lovers and gamblers alike although it's more centered on gambling that doesn'tesn one can't express his view about a certain match played or his experience from a particular tornament. Gambling is a business you don't jump into it one needs to understand the risk involved and how to select odds in other to partake or risking his earnings

If you play gambling, you are a gambler. But we are gambling with our life, so we are a gambler too.

Maybe some member played gambling in the past and he has a lot of experience before and wants to give his method or anything that might still work for the other member. We are playing gambling for many reasons, and I think we have members who play gambling every day, weeks, or only play if he has money. I do not play gambling too much time like other members because I do not have good luck.

Sometimes even if a user is not that interested he will still have to join gambling discussions if his signature requires him to. That is one reason why even if a signature campaign participant is not really a gambler, for as long as it is required that he has to make at least 5 posts in the gambling section he needs to participate in gambling discussions.

In principle, I don't see a problem with the fact that some signature campaigns require you to post in the gambling area. This ensures that the target group is actually reached, since someone who posts here most likely also plays or at least has played.

I also don't see a problem with this because the site being promoted in the first place is a gambling site. It is therefore just logical that the signature should be noticeable on the gambling section.

Never thought of it that way, tbh. IMO there are a lot of discussions related to odds, details of certain games strategies, bets, with thousands of replies in this thread. I come here to read and discuss both technical (e.g. trust issues, bets, and so on) and more socio philosophical points related to gambling.
I am a gambler myself, not a frequent one and I don't wage huge money, but I enjoy some games for fun once in a while, like poker, slots, crash.

I would not class myself as a gambler as such, but I do make bets from time to time. I do not know if that makes sense for others, but as far as I know a gambler is someone who is adept at gambling and does it in a regular basis, so I would not say that you are a gambler if you play a little from time to time. Anyway, we are all gamblers in life since we take many decisions even everyday without knowing exactly the result, which you may argue it is making a bet on the future. Perhaps I am a life-gambler.

I'm a gambler, even much addicted to others here but what if I'm not a gambler but I have knowledge on it even compare to the real gambler, am I allowed to post here?

Being an actual gambler or not, we should not limit those users who want to post here whether they wear a signature or not and requiring a gambling post weekly. There's a Reputation section for that if there's a complaint on specific users that are just trolling here in the section. Their managers are also watching their post or if they missed it, you can just reach them so that the user involved will have a warning.

And I only see campaigns that have gambling section requirements was being handled by good managers. It means those users pass the eligibility that's why managers accept them. Unlike in the bounty section where you can expect that participants will likely spam the boards.

I post here as I want to gamble with that money which I can consider 'affordable to lose'. Not free, but I know that when I have extra money available on hands, why should I be forced by somebody to give him money and if I don't, then that guy shouts about my gambling habits to everyone?

Everyone in life is a gambler one way or another. Some of us like taking more risks while others tend to keep caution in the wind. Everyone looking at this topic is a gambler though. The gambling discussion board is the place where we all come to complain about us losing money.

Quote from: adzino on July 06, 2021, 04:10:22 PM

I thought this was a gambling discussion board. What's wrong with discussing about the sportsbooks, performance and the games? You will know when someone is bullshitting by just reading what he wrote. As long as its not off topic, I don't see anything wrong. And I have seen threads about people discussing about odds. So I am not sure where you got this from. I don't post here because I don't gamble much. I only post when someone is looking for a good casino recommendation.

I think the cryptocurrency gambling websites are better off than the ones that use fiat based payments because there is a community which discusses how each gambling site can improve and usually the ones opening cryptocurrency based gambling websites are not loaded to the teeth with money and will actually listen to their customers.

Pretty sure not a lot of people would admit it because I don't think that it's going to be good for their image that they really aren't a gambler plus it's none of your business if they aren't a gambler and they are just completing their quota for their signature campaigns.

That makes sense, no one would publicly admit that they make baseless posts for their quota of signature campaigns and yeah not that it should bother anyone because we have a ignore button below every profile so if you find someone is irritating, report his/her posts and if they still continue to post garbage, just ignore the user and move on.

As long as the moderators don't delete the posts they are not breaking the rules and nothing can be done. The best solution is to mute such members and soon you will have only quality posters whose comments you will read. Personally, I don't mind if someone is making comments to fulfill their signature campaign quota as long as they are not spamming. After all, this is the most active section of the forum.
