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.

It is obviously when something is too good to be true, just like fallen a trap of honey pot. I know that since this topic is raised in the gambling section it would only be a statement pointing towards gambling.

I know there are many forms of Such trap but I will say when offer is being made by those who called themselves prediction expert, telling people to pay certain fee to be given bookies every week as a sure odd for winning when they know there is no sure odd or sure win. Then it's too obviously a trap. Because they are making money from people ignorance, that is the aspect I am seeing it from.

To me it evokes casinos which are relatively unknown or small and try to attract gamblers using unrealistic or too-good-to-be true deposit bonuses, for me bonuses which go beyond two hundred percent could be considered to be red flag, but that is a personal opinion.
I have also seen people who fall for scams which usually use so-called fixed matches or some alledged hacker which needs your money to further exploit a casino and take all the money within their trunks.That is specially common on Telegram.
A neighbor of mine almost fell for it but I let him know it was just a scam and he was going to lose his money as soon as he deposited his money in such shady casino in order to try to "exploit" it for profit.

Indeed, if something seems too good to be true, it probably isnt.

If there's something you don't understand on what has been written in terms you can just simply google translate the meaning of it into your local language so that there would be no confusion gonna happen and to make sure that you understand every details on that information you read.

Proper understanding the rules is important since it can really save up time and also we can avoid any potential problems. Although there are casinos who use tricky English words that's why we really need to exert effort to verify each information we read.

But if we know the common rules putted by casino for sure we would never do those something we think illegal and better always gamble with clean to avoid problems.

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.

A gambler can only fall for the trap if he doesn't look at the game twice before placing a bet. Selections that are low are considered to be less risky and they get a lot of attention, but it mostly turns out right. The only scenario where it looks a bit more of a trap is a case where the odds for a selection on a normal day were supposed to be low, but it seems higher so that it will drive so many gamblers to pick it. I got to see that last week when I was selecting games for EPL matches. But I knew it was a trap, so I left it and exactly the odd cut.

Another trap that gambling sites set for bettors is giving fantastic odds that will be way high, which will serve in a way to encourage bettors to bet with such odds, whereby in reality, the odds won't fall in good prediction. It's all a trap to make them lose their bets.

This is literally what I was explaining earlier. They give you odds that every gambler expects to be low, and they make it high to lure only greedy gamblers and also gamblers who don't pay attention to details. The gamblers who fall for this trap are those who mainly bet on live games. When a game is ongoing, they make the wining or any other events odds so high. This will entice them to stake high on it, and only luck will save them from losing the game.

The trap that I often encounter is, big bonuses & deposits do not require KYC, in the end, the bonus will be locked with unreasonable wager conditions, most people who take this bonus feel cheated, and when we make a withdrawal suddenly they ask for KYC, how cunning they are

True, I'm one of those who've this mentality of anything that looks too good to be true is a trap. In occasions where I've applied this rule of thumb, I turned out vindicated.

Quote from: maydna on October 30, 2024, 07:50:20 AM

When the promotion is too good to be true, that will be a trap for a gambler who doesn't wants to search for more info. They will not listen to others while they only wants to participates on that promotion. If that is the case, they will just get in the trap and not have a chance to get anything.

Even if gamblers do all the research there's, scamming casinos have ways of hiding their secret and that may take a lot of deep looking to even nail one. That people fall victim to such doesn't necessarily mean they don't try their best searching and doing their researches.

When I read that, what comes into my mind directly are the bonuses offered by new casino platforms to lure in customers. Many people, especially those who are new to online gambling, don't understand how these bonuses are given, they don't read the terms and services, and as soon as they read "300% bonus on first deposit" etc., they think that they are going to get 300% of what they are going to deposit and then will make a larger withdraw than what they have deposited.

A casino will never show you how much rollover a certain bonus has unless you read the complete terms and conditions of the promotions, and mostly, the rollover is so high that no matter how hard you try, you will barely be able to complete the rollover before you lose everything including your initial deposit.

From my experience, the trap there comes to mind if perhaps a casino is offering a huge bonus which maybe your think that it's not possible that the casino can just easily give off such amounts as bonus, then it's a trap. Secondly in sports, some odds looks very tempting but when it's very obvious, then just be aware it could be a trap too.

Hmm. Initially, what I thought of this "too obvious" thing is that if the odds are kinda weird with the matches that I know and have reference odds from other bookies, it might be a cheating thing if that were to be the case. It might be a trap by the bookmakers.

I think it applies to everything. The topic of this post.

When it's too obvious, it's a trap that simply means deceit or hidden risk. Bringing that phrase into gambling can be regarded as a honey trap that gambling sites give out to lure bettors to bet with them; after they have bet with them, they reveal their hidden conditions.

Another trap that gambling sites set for bettors is giving fantastic odds that will be way high, which will serve in a way to encourage bettors to bet with such odds, whereby in reality, the odds won't fall in good prediction. It's all a trap to make them lose their bets.

Almost all gambling sites have hidden plans they don't want gamblers to know about when they try to give hot streaks, big odds promotions, and bonuses. To them, this is a way to get to gamblers by giving offers that will entice them while having a hidden agenda to make them lose more.

It's pitiful that most gamblers that sees this, as a trap arrange for them "to lose'' not to actually win as thought by many who are carried away with what to win if they should stake with huge amount.

The trap that I have noticed on many crypto gambling sites is the ability of new customers to be able to deposit without KYC needed but when they want to withdraw, they will need to get verified. But this can be avoided if you read the gambling site ToS.

same with my experienced .Because i used to follow and join a gambling sites that offer freerolls and good terms and conditions for bettors, that for me as well seems fair coz there's no additional requirements such providing ids and etc. but without knowing they don't mentioned it and it will occur on withdrawal, Grin

wherin that's the time they will ask for verification and personal information, in order to continue the transaction.lol so mostly is trap . Much better to make research first.

This can also apply to many promos and bonuses.

They will tell you to just deposit or wager this x amount of money to gain that amount of whatever be it cashback or some free more spins. The point is they will make it seem so simple and easy. Just do this and you’ll be rewarded handsomely. But it is not in fact that easy lol.

Somehow they have hidden another thing you should do for you to get the reward. So at the end there will be no reward unless you complete a ridiculous task.

oh this is the classic that irritates me the most. Whenever you receive a bonus, you always have to complete a series of tasks and when you do them, the first thought is that it would be better if I didn't take this bonus because there is usually no point in it. That's why I haven't paid attention to them for a long time because most often they are not worth the time spent.

Bonuses and the like. Almost 100% of the time casinos have some sort of restriction sneakily hidden among those small ass texts that they have that explain the rules lol. I'd say ingenious if they were the first but eh, it's the usual marketing stunt that a LOT of companies employ. You'd be hardpressed to find one that hasn't used that strategy even once.

Other than that I guess KYC? A lot of casinos tend to avoid making their players do KYC and just let them play then when it's withdrawal time BAM, you need KYC. Like if that was the point just tell us to do KYC in the first place.

Is it what they also said " if it's too good to be true,then it's scam" this is about trading/investment ? Same manner as what you said in gambling and what made me think mostly is about the Bonuses those site trying to promise people/gamblers because from that expectation we become more loser than a winner .

Well much as I know about trap is related to cryptocurrency when the rally is on and an investors thinks and expects the move upwards to continue but gets trapped when the bear returns.

But as to gambling, if you go through the terms and conditions to see if there is need for KYC and getting verified even before your first deposit then you might have as well escaped such "trap " of stories when you are lucky to win and request for withdrawal.

However, I could consider excessive gambling as a trap of its own especially when you are losing. So, chasing back loses is a trap for more loses. Therefore, to this fact, a gambler would be setting trap on himself when he is chasing loses because chases are that he could lose more than he had already lost.

A high odds should subconsciously indicate that it is too suspicious to bet on. There may be different reasons, before the game it became known that the team will not play with its main lineup, or some important players are missing. I doubt about fixed matches, because if bookmakers find out about it, then such a match will most likely not take place. In any case, such a trap should be a warning sign for the player, although sometimes it happens that the favorite loses.

It could be obvious and won't be a trap. The game could change in favor of those who you thought fell for the trap. Jamie Vardy would say; anyone can beat anyone. Both teams wants to win regardless of the odds or which side got the most betting votes. So ,it's not certain whether it's a trap...it's just the normal feeling of doing things outside the box.

Since I have been using many gambling sites, there is nothing that is a trap for me. Just read the rules, use reputed gambling sites and you will be fine.

I don't think it's about that. It's about sports betting.

I think in the NBA betting thread, many members have predicted a trap already. Like giving out +6.5 to +9.5 handicaps to teams who are usually not playing well. It's just to make the line more inviting, especially for those who are fans of that team, and force them to bet for their team with the plus handicap. But it's too obvious that the other team will win as they are the favorite in that game.
Then, there are other traps like putting one team as the favorite although they have a high losing chance against their opponent. You can take advantage of this traps as long as you know things about the sport but for those who are just blindly betting, they might make a mistake and put this in their parlay that could wreck everything.

To this I would say during gambling when you actually got sure predictions to a certain bets and you feel staking with a higher amount can offer you bigger wins, and it's said that it's sure then as you decide to take up the task little do you know that it's just a trap leading to losses and you end up regretting. This is how I understood it to be and mostly you find such criteria in majorly sports betting and card games, this happens when you put up so much faith in your expectations and it comes out becoming a trap of no results.
