Topic: around 1.6 billion people worldwide gamble, What about a poker gamefi?? - page 3. (Read 1606 times)

Everything is change and the gambling too. The poker tourneys always more interesting than over casino games because it more difficult and depend both on luck and player skills. The offline tourney are the sport events that attracts attention all over the world, millions of people watch this tourneys. But for the small players online casinos looks very easy to use and saves time and money. The same time the online tourneys don`t look so exciting, TV willn`t show it.
I think that the poker will be different for different gamblers, both online and offline, but we`ll hear mostly about offline poker.

You are unfortunately right. I learned that back in 2014 period, I gambled away a lot of money by trying to chase more wins and in the end I ended up with losing a lot of money. I first started out with losing a tiny amount, but then small by small it grew to be a big amount. Today, if we calculate how much I lost in fiat that would be like under a grand or about a grand lost total in the past 5 years, because I gamble with a small amount, but if we look at how much bitcoin that I have lost, it becomes several thousands of dollars because price of bitcoin went up.

So overall, I would highly suggest everyone to not follow losses like me, and just focus on what you could get back, which is your sanity if you do not lose much.

I use to believe that poker game are skill based games and there is little to no luck involve in winning poker games not until I read from some users comments on this thread then I discovered there is place for luck factors in poker games.
@Desmong I will like to find such a group of friends who help each other in learning poker games because I will like to have some skills before I play poker games in real casinos and I will be glad if you can share a link where I can learn poker games from others who have gained some skills over time in poker.

It is that this is the correct thing, before we play we should make a recount of what we want to obtain, and part of it is to allocate a part of the money totally willing to lose, and that is not a bad thing, for many they see it as something greedy and that should not happen, but I think that things like this should be done to avoid possible problems in the future, I think that everyone thinks that they can get rich if they bet more in a casino, and no, that does not work like that, for My things have to work in a great way if you know how to play, with the fact of just having fun the profits will come at the least expected moment, and I think that is much more gratifying.

Not true , the rich wanted to win because of their Ego and not totally to double their money , and also not to buy what they need because they already has those money.

well , I doubt that it is the sole aim for gambling , I have known some people that only gambles when they wanted to enjoy and allotting some amount to spend and let lose (but of course winning is a bonus lol)

Poker is much harder in this than blackjack because there are blackjack guides as to when you should or shouldn't bet anymore and what % chance you have on winning if you request another card at that point. There are similar things for poker and good players know what cards could be in player's hands based on what they saw on the table in the last round and what cards they can see face up. That said, there's always a decent amount of uncertainty for the game to remain exciting even when players are very good.

Poker takes alot of patience to play, its not going to be the right game for everyone.  I think alot of people require fast results when they bet not continual rounds of cards and waiting for it to go around the table before getting a result, especially online you have to give time to each player on every card.   I like poker but its not going to be every person registered as a regular player will now pick up Poker no matter how clever you make the app; the proper poker players will run rings around the less determined people.
  Poker is a game which does hand some bias in the wins to those with experience, skill to some extent.

Really not a fan when this happens

I really think the pandemic had a lot to do with it, people were desperate to get any kind of entertainment that they could, not only because there was almost nothing on TV worth to watch this was also because they wanted at least for a few moments to forget the awful reality in which we were living, and gambling was the best way for them to do this, now some people may expect that after the lockdowns were lifted people will stop gambling, but it doesn't seem as if this is going to happen.

In the first few minutes we see lot of players following the same strategy as it's a freerolls so going All In is also not a problem for them and if they are lucky they could be left with some stash in the end.As game advances you will see people playing strategically and folding the cards if they think they have a weak pair instead of going All In but it's fun gameplay if you participate in them with some games going very long.

I want to answer you through your title. Gambling is what everyone is doing now even those people who you see that is rich they also play gamble for leisure and entertainment. But some people will think that the mindset of playing gambling is because of to be rich or to support having money from another source and that is why people is now involving in gambling. I want you to know that why people as you mentioned almost 1.6 million people is playing gambling, they use it to catch fun at home

Poker freerolls are fun, that structure with fast blinds forces players to play all-ins all the time which makes poker all about luck. Only at the end, with around 10-20 players left with huge stacks, we can say there is some real poker experience.
With at least some buy-in it's a different story, game structure allows players to experience real poker, there's time to think about the next move, and to plan and develop strategies through the game!

Ah so you are one of those guys who likes to play the freerolls only, I mean sure so do I, but usually if a place has freerolls, you can be sure the freebie hunters and bots will all start coming in the hundreds and then the experience is ruined for everyone else.

It's not even about large funds. I play with $5 buy in sometimes and maybe one or two rebuys. It's much more fun to actually have money on the line.

I think the game of poker still has a huge fan base but since the news about the game of poker is not very widely circulated, it makes us think that the game of poker is not very popular anymore. Maybe if in countries that allow gambling and have offline casinos, the game of poker is still running and played by many people who like it. In addition, there may be online casinos that have poker games on their sites and are still one of the choices for gamblers to play gambling.

In our place, poker is still popular especially in physical casinos with big time gamblers. But despite of being well-known it cant be denied that many gamblers are looking for other games that are more entertaining.

Nowadays casinos (either online or physical) are now offering many games aside from card games as we know there are dice, slots, sports betting etc. that got the interest of players. I dont play poker often because I prefer other games to play in. But if we say gambling, poker is part of it as a card game that is known to many.

I have been doing poker courses, but in the ones I have done that are free they do not talk about a guide on how to play, each person plays according to their personality, and yes, there are many players with very large funds to play but they do not get the platform that meets those needs.

Live casinos, there is a poker game, but there is one that is very real, video poker, and it is very good, I have tried them and the experience is very real, it is like being in a metaverse, but the lack of casinos that make tournaments is something big, and here there is money, very good players who bet on playing poker for a long time, what is missing to recover that taste for poker in casinos?

What happens is that gambling usually has several ramifications, those who like slot machines, those who like blackjack, those who like sports betting and especially those who like poker.

I believe that many people do not currently play poker because the idea of playing only against the casino does not seem attractive to them, obviously there will be a greater advantage in the casino than in the same player, for this it is much better to organize poker tournaments, wherever it is of style PVP and so you can get better options to win, there if something different comes up and the chances of winning when it's PVP and in a tournament is greater.


For me poker games are very important, but as I said before, only a platform or casino that catches up with the PVP style online tournaments is flatta, if they do it is possible that they can be very successful, when I started in this world was in 2017, and apart from freebitco.in and stake.com which were the first casinos I met, at that time there was a site called betcoinpoker and it was software that was downloaded, the tournaments were quite good and there were some where a tournament was played for free and the prize was ne mBTC, it is a pity that it is no longer online, but that same concept would bring great success at the moment, I do not know if any casino has considered this option.

Betnomi is the casino that I have seen that have held big poker tournaments, they have been very successful, but I think that the direction of traditional games should go in that sense of poker games in PVP.

Poker games are still popular and interesting these days as it’s now already played online, and probably more profitable than before. Though there are a lot of types of gambling games that continue to arise in the gambling industry, but we should not underestimate poker gambling as it’s still in demand in casinos which is mostly played by big time players and with large bankroll.

I was reading about that binance article but they mention their games axie infinity and metaverse what I notice is that everything is going to go in metaverses it may be that things are going to go through metaverses very soon and wherever good tournaments are held of poker, if binance does that, they can create more and be more reliable.

The bitcoinalk forum should make a space among the best casinos so that they can have live poker tournaments, but everything can be done if statistics are taken into account to see if it is viable, do these characteristics not exist within the forum, or probabilities and statistics? In the Meta threads that I review there is not a user who has done something like that, I imagine it is due to surveys, I have not done statistics for a long time, but it would be nice if we could have the statistics of the most active users in games of chance and that if they like poker, then we could survey that group that we consider a sample, maybe if they want to play but they don't show it much.

Well here it may be so, I don't know if there is any statistical characteristic that can give us reliability on this, but I know and I have seen here in the forum that many users prefer poker over any other game, before I was one of those players who searched in the casinos if there was poker and if they had the option of PVP, and if not, they kept looking.

After I was open to accepting other games, I realized that slots made me change my perception, but I know that there are people who only look for poker and since there are almost no platforms that offer poker contests or tournaments, then they go to look for on other sides.



If you are right, the last casino in charge of PVP tournaments has been Betnomi, and this casino has been doing wonderfully, I think that one of the things that attracts people the most in the forum is poker, and this taking into account everything that has to do with only poker and without participants who have been from other places, such as those that arise from social networks, which is something else, however a site that at this time organizes a tournament in I live in PVP mode of poker would be great, and could have a very positive effect on the casino, especially if they offer blitz tournaments with the option to win rewards.

If my memory serves me right, we have poker tournaments here in the community before and it was sponsored by a casinos. I'm not a poker player but maybe there are also casinos that added this already because obviously it is one of the most well known games as the OP has pointed out based on statistics.
