Topic: Gamblers understood the game - page 14. (Read 1618 times)

In my opinion, it makes sense that it is easier to bring people into crypto gambling than crypto investing. After all, gambling is a concept which is easily understood even by those who had never held a Satoshi.

Investing on the other hand, would require people to start learning new things and concepts like market capitalization, total supply, the different kinds of wallets we can use, etc. Not even mentioning the market indicators that are taken advantage by traders.

On gambling there is fun, a new investor will find there is search and homework to do.

It somehow feels like they think it's even more easier for them to gamble and make them racks than HODL coins... Secondly, you also created an impression in Thier minds that it's fine to lose and keep staking... which isn't the best.
You cannot tell me that gambling pays more,...is the a backup prove for that?? It only SEEMS easygoing but, in real sense, it's not... Atleast the market could follow a good strategy - depending on the bullish Capital -...; At that point, you can buy comfortably and expect  good profits .

Feel free to check my post history.

Almost 80-85% on "Gambling-Board". That's mean, I make a discussion or topic most the time on gambling-topic and hang out with someone who already gambling. If there has some people who are from non-gambling person but they are here because the signature-campaign.

It's should be his problem, why he joined a signcamp for gambling-topic while they're not regular gambler ? there has some signcamp who are non about gambling.

this seems to be a different concept when it comes to gambling and investing, is this true?
it is very easy to invite gamblers to gamble on any site using crypto because they understand that gambling always loses more often than wins and gamblers will understand all the risks that come with at least they can have fun entertaining themselves if they lose.
it's different if you invite investors, of course there will always be complicated questions like whether it's good for the long term, what are the risks, etc., because all of that is based on investors spending money for investments to make money with certainty in an in-depth analysis of one of the crypto assets.
so it's very different to invite between gamblers and investors because both have different meanings even though in the end they both want to make a profit.

Gamblers understand the language they speak when it comes to gambling, so a physical casino player knows what an online casino player is talking about when it comes to bankroll and wager, risk management is easy to explain to them, compared to an investor, their perspective is different, so you'll have to spend hours before you can explain to them how not only to play but also about the house edge and many gambling terms.
I'll always prefer gamblers when I'm inviting someone to an online casino, you can always leave them on their own and they can manage.

investing and gambling are very different things, bringing people to the cryptocurrency market to invest is something that would not make people lose 100% of the money they put into buying cryptocurrencies, at most they could lose 50% but only if they sold soon , as long as they don't sell anything they won't lose anything, so just have the patience to hold for years and they'll be able to make a profit, so they won't blame you for anything. It's a situation where they can win a lot depending on how patient they are, but the same thing won't happen with gambling. in games of chance the situation is completely different, when people enter games of chance they are not looking for profits, they are looking for fun

that is, when you bring your friends into the world of gambling, you may be putting them at risk of becoming addicted to gambling, of selling all their assets to maintain their addiction to gambling, which is why it is important that you just be upfront and honest with them and tell them that they are not going to make a profit from gambling, but they will be able to have fun and obviously they will lose money in the process, then they will already be aware that they are just playing for fun, but the odds of becoming addicted to gambling is very big, you shouldn't have any doubts about that, it's very difficult for many people to accept that gambling is not something to obtain profits, and how they don't accept the result and become addicted

the point is to introduce crypto to people who are ready for all the possible losses and also the benefits that he will get in the future. the thing I avoid the most is introducing crypto to people who have high expectations for crypto, if crypto is the best way to make riches then I would definitely be one of them (this is the answer I keep throwing at those who have high expectations in crypto but don't want to work hard). The mentality of gamblers and investors is completely different.

There's always a fine line in between gambling and investment which is something that we could say that they are really that totally different in terms of risks.It is really just normal that people who does have
that the knowledge already whether on investment or gambling games wouldnt really be asking too much questions on the time that they would really be making some switch up or new dealings into it.
If they do came from fiat gambling then of course switching into crypto wouldnt really be that much hard yet learning up the basics wont really be that time consuming.Unlike there are really people
who dont make use of their common sense or doesnt like to put effort on researching up things are the ones who are really that lazy which is something that differs
in between both persons.

Well, I can relate... Real gamblers see the odds everywhere, and we know our chances. Experience tells us that even big odds can fall and how impossible things can happen, but it is what it is, we either have some money for the next bet or not.

I guess after "too many" ups and downs we get used to it, expecting the unexpected... nothing is 101% safe/sure, something like that doesn't exist. We know what we risk and the possible outcomes, and we are good whatever result we get because we have a backup plan. Every smart person has a backup plan in case "the bet" ("things") go wrong.

I do not know what is the new opportunity in gambling.  The usage of fiat currency or cryptocurrency gives the same result in gambling, it is either they will win or lose.  If you think gamblers will see the opportunity that the cryptocurrency they are using can be used as an investment then that is highly unlikely to happen.  Maybe a certain someone will see it but the fact that they are engage in gambling, it is possible that they rather use the fund in gambling than convert their bankroll into investing funds.


Hmmm... you sure about that?  Maybe you don't intend to bring someone into gambling but your participation in the sig camp might have brought many. 

To OP's defense, these friends he's talking about are already full-fledged gamblers before the recommendation, he only recommended cryptogambling and didn't necessarily encourage them to. I myself think they already had this in mind and just needed that extra push to make their minds up and make the decision, which means had they not recommended cryptogambling to these people or not, they are going figure out the ropes and will eventually find themselves playing with it anyway. Plus, from the looks of it these people aren't chronic gamblers, considering how each losses they incur don't necessarily get to them, they even downplay the losses to OP's defense which I myself think is weird and a little over the edge of bad but whatever, as long as the losses don't get to them.

So all in all, I think OP's in the clear here, and he's not necessarily pushing these people to waste their lives away.

There is a huge difference between gamblers and investors. Gambler and investor have different approaches to risk. They look at the situation from a different angle. When I ask my friend, who invests in Bitcoin, about gambling, he reacts negatively. He is aware of the risk and does not aim to gain much in a short time. At the same time, he doesn't want his money to disappear completely. He is also aware of the possibility of his money increasing, but does not want to take the risk. A gambling friend of mine thinks otherwise. This situation may differ from person to person, but fundamentally, their perspectives are different from each other.

Well am not surprise as that is basically the major rating for most gambling who tend to gamble for huge profits, with my experience in the gambling world today, I don't think am willing to invite anyone into any sought of gambling site be it crypto or any type of currency but I can only consider if he or she is already a gambler then I can just consider because if the result turn bad for the invited person all blames can bounce back to you which am not ready for such incidents.

I never brought someone into gambling.

It's bad, why need to invite people in the bad habits. From my perspective, I only share about gambling content and any information about gambling to someone who already gambling.

I don't want other people who are don't know gambling, ruining their life.

Well, certainly these people have done their assignment and had looked into the crypto gambling world before dipping their toes in. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone to you to ask for assistance. In any case, losers or winners I think as long as these people are having fun, which they do considering how they downplay their losses, it's still a win. When you're gambling you don't have to prioritize winning and raking in profits anyway, at least for me, cause stressing over taking back losses is just gonna lead you to getting addicted to gambling in order to chase that win you can never attain again. So kudos to these people for not only (presumably) checking the whole industry out before jumping in, and they even asked for your help to boot, but for also cracking the code in staying sane even after tremendous losses.

I tried to attract a friend of mine, who was betting with huge amounts of money, to the online betting site, but he did not accept it because he was a very coward. Some people do not want to change their habits easily because they want to stay in their comfort zone. However, they must realize that when they do so, they miss out on more attractive opportunities. Trying different service providers once with small risks and gaining new experiences gives everyone the ability to seize better opportunities.

I did bring a few of my friends but this was only to when a casino had some kind of promo where you could get free money, or play in a free tournament.
I gave my friends some invites and they got free money to play with. Back in 2015 and 2016 there was a lot of such events taking place and you could easily get $20 or more for free, without having to deposit any of your own money. I once got $25, played for 2 hours and withdrew $30, so I got my friends to try their luck.

I would think of this in a different way. Gambling exists when there was no crypto. Gambling is a game where you may win or lose, every day and every game in gambling is a new game and you will instantly get the outcome of your winnings or losses in most of the gambling games.
Investing in Bitcoin or crypto is totally a different thing. Trading is another popular thing among crypto investors.

Those who are in crypto investments and they feel scared to invest in bitcoin for the long term, they seriously need to learn and understand crypto first, it is totally different from what gambling is.

Who are these random people that need your advice to do something very obvious? If someone is a gambler and someone also invests in crypto, they would naturally discover this themselves. It's actually a little bit silly in some ways to use this route, if they're already comfortable with fiat currency gambling, because there are additional fees that they face with engaging in crypto transactions. If someone is doing crypto already then it's probable that they are inclined into the more risky things in life anyway, so there's not much harm giving recommendations and potentially making money from referring your friends. You could just point them to this forum section and they can make their own choice from many offerings.

gamblers are gamblers. they don't need much explanation if they are already looking for it. they are familiar with fiat-based online casinos. now, they are looking for crypto casinos, which is very easy for us to recommend a reputable one. also, you can suggest them to visit the gambling board of this forum to learn more about these crypto casinos. at least, they will have their own choice on which casino they want to play with. if they are already gamblers, then, it would be easy for them to deposit. just teach them how to deal with crypto and that's it.
