I'm sure all of you would be aware of Captain Smith and his shameful teammates, who have brought shame to their country and all the respect for Aussies cricket seems to go down the drain.

This has brought me to a important question for all, is winning so important that you let your ethics down and chaeat?

This was cricket have you ever tried to cheat in gambling if yes why and were you able to stop doing it or no.

I have never cheated, won't deny I had the urge to do it but I resisted it nevertheless.

There is no code for us gamblers like the weak ICC has but I feel even we as gamblers are ethical and won't do such shady stuff to win.

I honestly cheated many times but it with friends or family members. lol. We all just having fun and the money I won, I will simply buy food like pizza for everyone. But as far as in landbase casino's or if I'm playing with others, no. I'm afraid that I will be caught and you will that you will end up something you will not like.

Yeah, there's some unwritten code for us gamblers not to cheat because you don't want to be cheated as well.

Edit: I remember a group of people who always cheated, they are like a syndicate. They would target rich folks, but one day we all arose from a group of police raiding one house. Well, its those criminals who cheated someone, however, he has some kind of connections to the police that's why the group was busted and we don't know what happened to them up to this day.

This is a quite bad attitude from the reputed team captain. You need to win the game by cheating.

I gamble very less only sometimes sports betting and play short while a dice game but never think about cheating to win. Also, I gamble for just for fun not so desperate to make money from these games so never think about to cheat the person or a system win my bet.

Never managed to cheat an online game nah!

The security is too damn high normally. But I thought about a rather simple way to cheat on poker:
You enter a table of 8 with 7 accounts in total. The last seat will be taken by someone else.

Then it means you have 7 hands as information while your opponent has only one hand of information.
I don't know how it could work but that means you would have 7 times more information than your opponent!

That was cool and I don’t consider it as cheating. That is using your brain when it is required. If you have the opportunity to take seven seats, your opponent has also the same chance. But he does not look at things the way you do. Everything is fair in this game. It is pointless to care about ethics in an unethical game. Yes, gambling is definitely not appreciated in any part of the world. A gambler should only aim at winning the game to save himself from loss.

It is not that they want to win but the main problem is their EGO which is why they tempered the ball to win the game. When the EGO comes in game you can expect any illegal way of winning it. That is why it is told that play fairly and dont let EGO over come you.

In online gambling it is hard to cheat only the site developer can cheat as they have control over the site program.

Well, you are not far away from truth.

In online poker it is hard to prove anything, and you could end up on table playing against group of friends which can lead only to your loss.

While I was playing cash games in the past, I noticed at some poker sites strange behavior on certain tables, for example 5 players are sitting off and as soon as someone join table they all become active, and you can't play poker against whole table.

I don't see any good things that I can keep from cheating unless the winnings that I am getting, still if you have that winnings, it is like you rob them and not really won them since you are cheating them, right? I am gambling because I am hoping to win some big cash that I don't really get in a short time in my job though I am also having fun gambling since I don't really want to keep myself used in betting and always losing since that will really make me pissed. Before that happens, I will stop myself.

Ethics matter everywhere, you aren't ethical if you just pick and choose the circumstances where you decide to be ethical or not.
You are either practice good morals or you do not, there's no in-between, at least not according to me.

The same with gambling, for me it would not be okay to cheat, whether you're playing with friends or at a big casino.

Now I do see a gray area if you're just using skill to get an extra edge in the game.
Counting cards in blackjack is an example.

The first decentralized crypto betting platform

I have never cheated but it is very difficult to cheat if you play in big online or even land-based casinos. I remember doing it as home as @Pursuer says, when I was a kid and was no money involved, but for the sake of winning.

I can understand people up to a point if they try to cheat for huge sums of money. Money drive people crazy.

Where is my ring of blades...

sometimes it is fun to cheat, as long as you are not harming anyone I don't see any problem with that. like when you are playing a friendly card game at home with a bunch of people you know, it may not even be for money Grin

I have never done it but I have to admit I have thought about doing it.

but when it is fixing games and stuff like that which can harm others and also when it can be considered thievery, then that is it right at all.
