Topic: When it's too obvious, it's a trap.... - page 6. (Read 884 times)
Well different people would surely read different meaning to this, because the phrase does say a lot of things and I’ll tell what I think the phrase means using my previous experiences in sports betting. Multiple times when I’m making sports predictions I often encounter odds that are jus a irresistible, by irresistible I mean that the on normal circumstances, the team are meant to win effortlessly and thus should have a very small odd, but in these rare cases, the team would be given a very big odd that you can hardly resist, and most of the time when I go for these odds and bet on that team to win, they’d either lose or the match ends in a draw, leaving me wondering how that could’ve happened. The odds were too obvious and too good to be true, and in the end, ended up up to be a trap. That’s how I understand the phrase.
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.
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.
Bonuses especially Cashbacks these are actually obvious traps which I have observed but still some curious gamblers still fall for it. I don't blame them though sometimes they don't even have a choice. The cashback bonus trap is even the one that almost leaves the gambler with no choice and most of them fall for it.
I am surprised that some people fall for cashback bonus. Someone that complained on a post on this forum recently posted that he thought that it is a deposit bonus. If the terms and conditions of the bonus is read, it will be helpful for the person to know that it is a cashback bonus. I have a personal experience on this one. Gladly the casino was an honest one and the processessed everything very fast. While others may report a horrible KYC submission, mine is quite the opposite.
If you are not working for the gambling site, like to be in their signature campaign on this forum, you will have no option than to complete KYC level 2 which will require something like identity document, drivers license or something that can be used to identify you that is approved by the government in your country. 
High odds

As for high odds you must be quite inexperienced to fall for that one though except you are a high risk taker.

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.
Trap is when they say they're KYC free but later on asks for confirmation or verification of the user because of the policies that they've changed. Is that what you're implying? too many possibilities can be thought with this title of thread. The others that have shared their thoughts about what you're trying to imply OP is also about the odds. So, if it's not about the kyc thing then it's about the odds that we're having for the sports that we're betting. I also see them but rarely in esports and I don't mind getting into it because they're sometimes attractive and sometimes, not at all. 
Most likely it is a trap as things who are to good to be true usually are as that saying goes. I normally advice to stay away from such things and to do your due diligence and own research before joining any of such sites if you are referring to a specific site although I have not seen a link yet here. I mean people often fall for all sort of scams, at least in my job I see "users" which are human being like you and me that lack technological education clicking phishing links like crazy and that is why this is still one of the most successful type of scams, in an analogy here the same with such sites, when it is to good to be true please stay away, I don't know a case yet where someone following such sites or forums have come out victorious in the end, quite the opposite, the losers come exactly from these places.
Do you mean 'when it is too good to be true?'
I actually like obvious, bookies that have obvious terms with clear layout on what is expected of players before playing, what amount they can withdraw, if VPN is allowed, regions that are restricted. Have the entire terms spelt out for new users from the go.
When it comes to being too good to be true, bonuses come to mind first, they are many times marketed to be what they are not and the clauses are unfortunately not always obvious.

Sometimes when I see massive odds on a game it is almost a warning flag not to bet it. As much as I’d like to think all competition is fair and honorable, sometimes you see teams overcome I surmountable odds in a way that might make conspiracy theorists question if a player or players took a dive for a once in a lifetime payout.
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.
On the moment that you are really that knowledgeable already in betting on sports then you would really be definitely be finding this stuff to be known or something that could be obvious
but this is usually on the time or moment that you are already that experienced. You could be able to determine on the moment or time comes that you are already getting used to or
being wary on how things happen into this area. Therefore, back in the past on which you might done the wrong thing but now you do able to divert yourself into something more
less risks path because you've been able to experience it in the past. There would really be those differences in between those noobs and those experienced ones.

Yeah, most likely it could apply to sports betting that much, although I would also say that it can be applicable to card games as well like black jack and baccarat. Like in black jack, when you have a lot of hands in the table and you might take that you will almost win them all as you have like 18-20 high hands.Unfortunately, the banker might have 4, then open a 7 and unfortunately, it might be a face card or ten, giving them 21 and a black jack. I also see this in baccarat when majority of the bettors think that it's should be a player let's say on the next hand, and then bet a lot of money. But when the card was dealt, yes you have a 8, but it's what we call a jackpot as the banker has 9.

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.

This refers to sports betting, right? Most of what I read includes the term "trap," which is when the line looks too good to be true. That's something we should avoid or bet on the other side. There haven't been a lot of those, but if you spot one with the bookie, it’s considered an opportunity for sharp bettors. This usually indicates that big action is happening on the other side of the bet, which typically reflects public bets.
