@Kakmakr you forgot Eddie live streams and those rains given by those whales in the chat, hence one can always recover his loses if he sticks around. Also gambling is risky but if you can learn which funds to gamble with, you can go long way in gambling and that’s why making a fixed budget for gambling is very important.
You're right, Eddie's live broadcasts are spectacular, you also can't forget that you have to be active in the stake.com forum, I've gotten a lot of learning from there on the forum, some whales who bet comment on their way of playing, and of how they face certain plays that for me are difficult to face, especially when you are not a whale.
They've learned or manage to control their emotions and with good amount of bankroll they can easily cope up to whatever difficulty they are facing, it's hard for small gamblers but to them who are willing to take the risk it's not hard as long as they understand their capabilities.
Lots of promotions that really encourage all those old and new gamblers to keep chasing for that decent earnings.
I think eddie letting it rain is not a big deal, that is not a way to recover your losses, I get that it is not a bad amount but it is not a big amount neither and you have to be losing just few dollars if you think that's good enough to recover, for people like me (and I am a small shrimp compared to real whales) who plays like 50-100 dollars per month and loses it, what eddie rains never that much, I joined a few times but it was both boring and also wasn't raining that much.
Stake still has one of the best casino games I have ever seen, even though they added third party that I never touched and will never touch, their OG games are still by far the best, I go out to other places and play there and come back and realize how much I missed here. But I literally feel like those OG games are the only thing good left here, neither support not management cares about lower end players so I am not sure how long stake will stay this awesome.
