Tell me about how you understand that, as these are some of the terms I can read in many of the betting forums I've joined. I have my understanding too, but I wouldn't post it here first as I like to read yours first.

I have a hard time saying it without leading or applying it, because your question depends on what kind of bet we are playing. In every game, there will always be a trap for the bettors or gamblers. That's why, I find it quite difficult to direct what type of gambling you mean in this discussion. But let's discuss it simply, just say it's a trap in sports betting or casino games. Let's explain first the obvious ones, for example a strong team vs a mediocre team. However, bookies present almost the same odds. In other words, no one is more favored. Clearly this can be said to be a trap if we don't research and analyze it, our understanding plays a role in this kind of betting mode. For casino games, there are many new games that offer big rewards or bonuses even with the lowest bets. This can clearly be said to be a trap if we are not observant, because only a few gamblers are lucky enough to win the jackpot or big wins. That's why, in betting or gambling it will be important to involve experience, understanding and knowledge.

The biggest trap of online gambling establishments is the advertisement, which shows that you can earn more money by playing some simple games and you will own a lot of money in a few days. Online casinos place these ads more in places where money is scarce and education rates are very low. Minors and some uneducated people who do not have much knowledge about these things fall into these traps the most. When they start playing the games there is some profit to entice them in the first place which is their second trap. Later they extort money from that customer, not knowing about these scams, they continue to gamble with the hope of profit as in the first case until they run out of money and lose.
When you see the gambling advertisement, your minds will comes about how easy to win in gambling. That can makes you curious with the win so you will visit the casino, make an account and start deposit some money. Whether you lose that money or win the money, your minds will thinks to return to casino in the next days and also thinks that can I win more money from that games? That psychology will comes to your minds and telling you to keep trying although you don't know if you can win more or lose more. And yes, minors will fall into these traps the most because they can not control themselves well and they will return to casino to start playing over and over. That will be a start for them to get addicted to gambling without they realize and if they can not stop themselves, they will becomes a heavy addicted gamblers.

The phrase is more common with gambling platforms in particular with those which are offering unrealistic bonuses and rewards. For sure we heard enough stories of people getting scammed by new gambling sites and they're guilty that they've been  tricked by these offers. In some instances this phrase could also be applicable with fixed matches or ways being offered to cheat on the platform; there would be people offering signals in exchange for a fee and the likes. These will all boil down to the idea that there's no easy money on gambling industry; everything's a trap if you will be pushing to find ways to win easily.
Too good to be true offers and promos are actually an obvious trap but unfortunately there are still gamblers that fall to that kind of advertisements. I personally fall for this I think when I was just a newbie to online gambling. Though this happened mostly online but there are still incidents of it getting used on gambling booth though it's legit like the lottery but yeah odds of winning is like 1%. Online gambling uses all the eye catching techniques that fools us and yet some of us still fall for this trap.
Even long term gamblers are still falling from these schemes because it has something to do with one's drive. Many people are frustrated of how difficult winning is in gambling games so they are being vulnerable to things which are suspicious in general perspective. It happens in different forms but with one goal which is to deceive those which are prone. What's best is to learn if ever you'd be once a victim to avoid its reoccurrence.

This often happens in sports betting and I have also been trapped in this game many times, in this post I will tell you about a fairly common trap. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.64709998 I was initially quite suspicious of the PSG vs Atletico Madrid match even though in this match it is clear that Atletico Madrid is also a fairly strong club in the UCL but playing away at PSG headquarters the bookie gives odds @6.60 while PSG @1.48 isn't that a very obvious trap? if bettors don't pay attention to the club that is PSG's opponent, indirectly many of them bet on PSG with a fairly convincing chance of winning but the results you can see for yourself Atletico Madrid won with the high odds given by the bookie this is clearly a trap that tricks sports bettors.

What exactly it's a trap? if someone think both PSG and Atletico Madrid are almost equal, which mean Atletico Madrid has a higher chance to win, bettors should be bet on Atletico Madrid because the reward is higher and the risk is same like betting PSG to win, but with low reward.

In that match, PSG actually really dominating the pitch, so I don't see bookies are wrong for predicting PSG is high likely to win, they were just unlucky.

I wonder that too. It is almost impossible to find a casino that doesn't mention KYC anymore (tbh I don't know one at this point, the last remaining one was freebitco.in and it mentions KYC too lately) in its ToS and that's a big problem.
There's still one who didn't ask KYC in their terms, they have an active campaign too.

This is a strong warning for us to be careful before placing any bet while gambling, because there are situations whereby we see some games to be too real in failing us and what we get as a result is the opposite, this kind of risk is what we are going to always have in mind when gambling, that there is high probability for making loss than win when gambling, even on games we are very confidence of playing.

The biggest trap can only be the psychological trap, the trap of desire that a person sets in the game, I don't know how everyone's level is but except for casino advertisements, we also have correct advertisements such as prevention and restriction. There are two such extremes but players are only choosing one side of gambling to follow, if to complain about this trap, we should clearly look back at our own vigilance, although casinos have many tricks to get customers to advance more money, to be exact, people cannot overcome their desires and suppress their greed, we are actively losing and getting trapped.
casinos do take advantage of gamblers' weaknesses in their psychological control, but I don't see it as a trap. what leads us to excessive gambling and betting is ourselves. although sometimes casinos give promos or even bonuses where we don't actually want to play and finally we decide to play with the bonus. if it is not satisfactory, what might happen is making a deposit, and that is quite common for gamblers.

I think based on what I read on most scam accusations on the forum,  one of the things that can be termed as a trap is the play without KYC on a licensed casino and the deposit bonuses with their huge rollover requirements...you I have been in this position and when you deposit and start playing on these platforms,  they usually never ask questions but when to remove money comes it becomes a whole different story, same thing with bonuses..some are near impossible to flip and would advise people to stay clear of bonuses...just play with your money and you should be okay.

I wonder that too. It is almost impossible to find a casino that doesn't mention KYC anymore (tbh I don't know one at this point, the last remaining one was freebitco.in and it mentions KYC too lately) in its ToS and that's a big problem. Crypto casinos lost the war against the govs. They can't provide us any privacy because they all have a public domain name which they buy from a government agency and unless they get a domain name they can't reach us.

We should be focusing on decentralized p2p gambling platforms but tbh I don't know if there is a reliable one.

I don't really consider it a trap if it's not really proven because after all, I have experience when I was busy betting on blackjack for a few days on one of the crypto gambling platforms at that time, and the results were very good. In fact, I had time to borrow money from a friend and was able to return it in just a matter of minutes because I managed to win big in a short time. Previously I didn't know if it was a trap so I would continue to bet, or maybe my lucky day.

Because after a few days passed I got a very big loss even though I was still using the same platform and also the same method in gambling. But in reality I really didn't get any wins, until finally the site announced that it would close its site and require users to withdraw all the balances.

At that time I was immediately shocked, because I thought the loss I experienced was because the site was planning to close but even so, then I gave them a message and told them all the losses I had experienced. But luckily, I got a replacement for the  loss I experienced during the period they planned to close the site, although not a large amount but they really seemed to be taking responsibility for it.

Am I missing something? Trap detection after the game is over? Then it was not a trap sincerely, it is what just happened, only that the loss may make anyone feel off. This trap of thing is just a subjective inclination, no one is trapping anyone if you are not playing a trap game...lol. Just do your due diligence and not rely on the odds you see. This is all about making your analysis and opting for the right predictions regularly off the line and what the bookies eventually resolved to offer on that bet. Simple!
Only regular and long-term sports bettors will get what I’m saying. If a gambler just comments based on what they read, they won’t really relate to what’s happening in the real gambling world. It all depends on the bettor’s judgment actually, some might say a line is a trap, while others don’t see it that way. Sometimes, when you’re gambling and spot a line that seems like a trap but still follow the public bet because it looks easy, you end up losing. That’s when you realize it was a trap, and you fell for it. Wait, are we on the same page here?

As it has been commonly said, when its too real to be true, then its more likely not to be true, things comes with offers and odds or games in which we play while gambling with the hope and expectation that they are very reliable and must be 100% accurate as we have perceived, but at the end of it all, we only come to the realization of everything being as an illusion only and we couldn't achieve anything.
With that mindset, you can spot traps more easily. But trap lines don’t show up every day, they’re rare opportunities. To win in the long run, you still need to analyze the regular lines and make the right picks daily. Most gamblers only realize it was a trap after the game is over. And sometimes, we think it’s a trap, bet on the other side, and still end up being wrong.

Gamblers who get trapped by these kinds of ads are usually the ones who don’t really understand gambling. Advertisements are normal, it's what casinos do to attract players...but if we’re responsible, we should know what’s realistic and what’s not. Most of those who get hooked are the ones who are greedy, betting big money but relying purely on luck.

But that's not really the main point of the discussion, because if you check the first pages, this is actually about sports betting, where there are lines that we can call obvious traps, but casual sports bettors usually don’t notice them.

The trap that I can see in a casino, that is relatively new and that promises good profits and that people win with a minimum deposit , the trap is when they say that the Withdrawal is after the KYC and when they verify it manually , that for me means an imminent scam, so in view of these things according to my experience it is very obvious and easy to determine that it is a scam, so far I have not been wrong with that type of things.

This is one in my mind that whenever a casino says that they're kyc-free, they're mostly not. So with reading majority's thought about what OP is talking about, it could be a game, a hint of trapping bonuses for which is the other one that's on my mind. I have read what OPs thought about it but it's not yet enough to conclude what he really means. But I guess the good thing about such is that we've got a wide thoughts about how someone creates some certain terms in the gambling industry and we're able to give a variety of ideas about it.
Casinos usually aren't to blame in this case; it's mostly people who have created a hypothetically informative website to promote their referral links by disguising it as a blog. While this isn't negative in any way, claiming that a casino is KYC-free when it's not is misinformation, and it's deliberate either to promote their referral links or the casino is paying them for endorsement.

In any case, I have greater peace of mind when the casino where I'm participating is regulated; although it doesn't necessarily mean much, I believe that they are easier to trust.

That's a very good, old trickery that works perfectly fine for them... They're not gonna set up a match with alot of insight as to how it'll end already... That would mean -- giving you a double-edged advantage against the casinos - that's a typical example of the TRICK/TRAP in the game.
Who's gonna wager on a 6.60 odds against a 1.48? Isn't that a little bit insane to think of? Lol...
Most gamblers only realize it was a trap after the game is over. And sometimes, we think it’s a trap, bet on the other side, and still end up being wrong.
Meanwhile, most gamblers don't even know these traps and how the casinos manipulate the odds... Whenever they come across a game with a somewhat imbalance odd, they tend to wager against the bigger ones....
I've read through alot of comments in here and most people think this is all about casino games alone.

I think you are definitely talking about sports betting, there are selections that are of a very low value, they can be very sure and captivating enough to get a lot of gamblers attention, these are part of their schemes and traps to lure you into making the wrong choices. Playing sports betting for a long time has taught me this. Just like you said when it's too obvious then it's definitely a trap. When it seems like that selection is too sure to pick the best thing for you to do is pick something random because that might be a way to escape the mind games of the bookies.
