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.
In another word the statement "When it's too obvious, it's a trap" can also be referred as "When it's too good to be true, it's a trap", which has always been a common statement in all investment and Gambling platforms, forum or community, which emphasis on the need for people to be always cautious when dealing with products or services that seems too good to be true (i.e offering a 1000% welcome bonus) or for an investment platforms (i.e offering a 100% return of investment in 3-5days), which is a strategy must scammers do use to lure people into falling victim to such offer that seems too good to be true.

My understanding in this in aspect is this. Imagine joining a sport betting group or platform as one who is looking for a place to get sure games, you end up in such platform which has so many testimonials. This might entice one to believe it’s that easy to make money from betting. They end up posting slips from different people who has won, or even edit slips and post them just to get people’s attention. Now immediately after joining you end up seeing the true outcome of what they do.
I have a friend that have joined a group and do say something good about them. I decided not to join a group because I prefer to make use of some prediction sites but which I will not use to bet directly but to see some matches which I can analyze to know if truly the team would win. That my friend always talk about people on the group that always win. But I noticed that my friend is losing than winning. But his problem is that he can bet on 5 matches or more on a single bet which I think is related to what your posted about winning ans posting of the betting slip and while some can be fake. All those group can not be helpful at all if you do not know the right steps to take while betting.

Most likely it is a trap as things who are to good to be true example is big bonuses & deposits do not require KYC, in the end, the bonus will be locked with unreasonable wager conditions like you win 100 USD but to withdraw that you need wager at least 10K USD its obviously a joke. You know that bonuses offered by new casino platforms to lure in customers but sometimes it just don't make any sense. Well like you have said

When it's too obvious, it's a trap....

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.
Indeed the casino have their ways of hiding their secret. But we can prevents that from our research because I am sure that we can finds more information that will telling us if the casino is a scam. We don't know how they will research because every people will have their own method to determine the casino that is right for them. Those people who get scam must be more be careful searching the casino and they need to search for the other sources.

~snip~
In all sincerity, every scam or trap always has a loophole to it's proposed activity but the loophole is always overlooked by our greedy instincts to reap massively where we didn't sow. Greed is what lures many suspecting and unsuspecting individuals into patronizing scam activities recently. It would interest you that there are some scammers who include certain games in their casino site which can't be found in any other casino, so you would deposit into them, play the games they have to you under the pretence of fixed game and finally prevent you from withdrawing your winnings because those games never existed in the first place. We ought to always research any major activity we're embarking on to be sure it's not a drop of honey positioned tho attract as much ants as possible. And most importantly, don't uphold greed when making major decisions.
That is why we must control our greed from the things that too good to be true so our minds can thinks if that will end in a scam or not. We have that feeling but we deny that and still thinks that the casino offers gives the real things to us. But if we have much experienced before, we will not let ourselves trying to get it but moves to the other casinos. We will suspicious with the offers and will not thinks much about that because we don't want to get the same thing like before. We must really careful when we want to search for the casino because many scam casinos that we don't know and they always gives the exciting offers to their visitors so they will register and trying to get the offers.

You would have done it better by explaining it more than this, I am sure many people might misrepresent it.

Well, I've tried as much as possible to steer clear of casino bonuses and offers due to some terms and conditions and I've seen it carefully planned with many of their betting offers which will always turn out to be in their favour and never in the favour of the gambler. But the ambiguity of the offer and the intended rewards always cloud people's judgment, but not me, I make enough considerations and calculations before opting for any unusual offers.

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.

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.

You said this I often read in other complainants here in our forum that most players complain about on the casino platform. In which there are actually new gambling platforms emerging here in the crypto gambling business.

That's why it's good to play crypto gambling casinos that have been operating their business for several years in this field industry of cryptocurrency, such as duelbitz, livecasino,
rollbit and others that we see here in this forum.

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.

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.
