Topic: Who’s who in the gambling subforum? (Read 1312 times)

It is interesting, I always read it regularly from that page, the information is very precise and a few days ago I was in one of the traditional casinos in my country that now they have them legally when for more than 17 years it was illegal, I realized that the difference that is established from online casinos is something else, physical casinos, even the way of thinking, acting is different, of course, sometimes when you lose concentration, that if they bring you food, alcoholic beverages, music, all of this is an environment that makes you feel in your brain that you are a winner and that you will not lose, I think that is a plot that physical casinos have a great advantage over online casinos.

This looks like a rhetorical question. Gambling is a lucky game. You can only follow an expert to learn, guide and direct you what to do and not to win. Winning is by luck. The so call expert can lose thousands of games. So who is an expert in a Gambling game is unknown. Nobody is an expert in the gambling profession. A newbie can win an expert of 20 experience gambler in just a few minutes. But gambling is meant for experience players.

Your prediction is one of the most important thing gambling. There are different experts of gambling in the world, you can follow the on social media to learn more. The following link can Also provide some experts in gambling.

But remember, gambling online is different from physical game. Although there are similarities. Online you can predict and left the scene of the casino or sport betting site and checked back later. But in the physical game you play the game by yourself.

Even if you have an excellent knowledge in sports, I still don't think you can now predict accurately. What if the two teams that head to head are both good? can you be able to predict if who will win? and there is also what we call good luck and bad luck, it can happen to you when your betting or can happen on the teams that are playing.

If you don't have a knowledge in sports or sports betting, you can still get involved by availing such tipping service or you can also look for the post of the persons mentioned on this thread because they are all experts. I think the title of this thread is kinda different. I am expecting that op will say "we need to have a separate board for the sports threads" but I support this too because there are now too much of them.

That is the whole point of tips, at least for me. I want to see reasoning behind the tip and then decide for myself what to bet on. For instance we often have similar reasoning for games where bookies favor the stronger team way too much and you opt for better paying ML on underdog while I opt for safer both to score option.

I would love to see tips like that for basketball. There is so much money too be made on under/over but I don't follow and can't analyze properly. If you are watching every week you know who is playing defense on whom and you can see when the line is set up wrongly.

I agree with you, for example, having knowledge about a coin already gives such person the ability to predict on the outcome of such coin maybe in price or other developmental aspects.
Likewise on sports, Having knowledge on a type of sports already gives one the ability to predict on such sports, predictions doesn't necessarily need to be correct or come out as predicted, what's important is that one does not predict blindly or with zero knowledge on what he or she is predicting on, that's what's really annoying.

Well I guess having the knowledge about sports betting or just the sports alone can give already a person the access to formulate his own predictions. I mean in the long run while he engage himself into sports he can develop this kind of interest about self prediction but not in a way of expert prediction. And let's always keep in mind the meaning of prediction, meaning we're predicting a certain event to happen without the assurance that it will going to happen or the end result will tally on your prediction.

You can't predict accurately on sports betting if you didn't have enough knowledge on the sports you are betting. You are mixing up the physical knowledge to principle knowledge because there's 2 types of knowledge in sports, The one that good in the actual sports by playing it physically while the other is through understanding the principles and strategy of it to determine how to be good on that sports which is sports analyst does. What will be your basis on betting if you don't have any idea on what you are betting, Having an interest means you will do research on it and continuously study the sports by repetitively watching it until you determine who's team are good or not then based your bet with the stats, roster, strategy/style and many more elements that measures effectiveness in sports.

All the user mentioned on this thread has deep knowledge on the sports they have interest that's why can give a thorough analysis as there contribution here.

Haha fair enough. I guess perhaps they or some of them aren't using the forum as much as they used to for those purposes, or were/are active on other platforms.

I still do hope the list is more a "who's who" and why. You come across a lot of personalities here but so few actually bet or have advice, insight, tips you can be sure they back up with money. It's damned easy to become an armchair "expert" here (just look at the European football megathreads and you understand) but until you put money where your mouth is, counts for very little in my books =)

e.g. as I said, I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but if I make big calls, I can tell you why, and I can prove I made the call with money on this thread I've maintained for over 3 years now. Proof of my luck, rather than my expertise, perhaps, but proof nevertheless

Having the knowledge of sports and doing predtion of matches are different things. Even if someone have good knowledge, it does not mean that you will be able to predcit hte match results correctly.

You don't need to be an expert in any of the sports. However you should have interest in the sports being discussed. Sometimes i do come across some generic spam comments in the gambling sports discussion thread, which is anooying.

@buwaytress. I checked their post history. I trust your suggestions, however, they are not very active in providing information, opinion or share a prediction except for trofo who is in the list already. But I will add them as the gem whisperers hehehe. Experts who are not very active but gives rare gems in the subforum.

@Saint-loup. Agreed on tyKiwanuka. I will add him as another gem whispherer in the gambling subforum.

Thanks for the mentions, ralle14 and Saint-loup, and to bbc.reporter for making this thread -- I might prefer a list of usernames, and precisely what it is that makes them an expert.

Also, if this is about expert gambling or at least tips, rather than sporting knowledge? I personally feel the distinction is important. I'm less of a knowledgeable person in say, African football, than in European, but I actually had a better season gambling-wise in the former, and even am familiar with which team would be the favourite on paper, yet be completely unfamiliar with the players or coaches or styles. This distinction is also important in this particular subforum -- anyone who's had the patience to scroll through some of the megathreads understands about half the shitposts there aren't from gamblers (a sweeping statement not backed by evidence I admit).

To comment on Saint-loup about suggestion of player lists also, I think a great idea. My list would be absolutely about gambling and less about sports (technical) knowledge, and as such, and this is not exhaustive, top off my head, and absolutely personalised to myself =). If I had to make a proper list, it'd be much longer, but I thought rather than name everyone I think knows a thing or two about gambling, why not just put the guys I actually do take or have taken hints from?

These guys are all, also, high rollers. Serious money where their mouths are, so to speak, if they don't mind me saying so!:

_DarkStar

• knows where is safe to gamble on sports and on casino, has old-hand information and insight on site owners, which to trust, and background.

SyGambler

• expert sports gambler: horse-racing
• another old-timer with dice-type crypto casinos with insight into a lot of goings-on behind the scenes

Trofo

• expert sports gambler: tennis, European football, deep insight into Balkan teams and athletes
• has relevant and current information on promos across bookies

sportsbet.io aka Steve

• expert cricket gambler, and actually plays cricket at a professional level
• has industry insight, naturally, on the business side of things

Yes I don't understand why you still haven't listed tyKiwanuka. He's one of the biggest expert in sport betting I know. He's certainly expert in almost all sports available on sportsbooks but from what I know he's mostly active in threads about soccer, cycling, NBA, NFL and Eurovision here.
RHavar is the expert of provably fair gambling games, but buwaytress and Darkstar_ are missing in your list too IMO.
It would be interesting to know the expert list of those guys BTW.

Experts for tennis, NHL, MLB, Formula One and cricket are also missing in this list but I don't read threads about those sports very oftentimes unfortunately.

do you think one day they may 'cross the bridge' to web3 and start to accept crypto as a way of payment too?

interesting to think about it, skill will only take you to a place, mindset and psychology will take you to the other side, when it comes to poker, but this stands true to many sports at professional level as well.

No, they don't accept them, but yes, you're right, I'm also in favor of the fact that one can learn these things and be at the level of people who have some kind of special talent for poker, in addition to having some knowledge and experience great goals can be achieved, I have not reviewed it again, but the guides they give there are level 1A, I know that many current players have read and learned these guides well and that has guaranteed them great success, because there are some technical issues that They take into account at the time of the game that it usually helps a lot, I think that the rest is already psychological and usually depends on the type of thinking of the player.

Even if the predictions aren't totally accurate I think it's nice from them to share their views and guesses regards games' results, because they could simply bet and make profit quietly without revealing any hints to anyone.
I agree with you, let's be thankful and take the responsability for our own acts when betting online without blaming someone else's opinion for a loss we might have betting on a wrong result.

Look, really what you said is true. If a certain person wants to specialize in something, he needs to study a lot about a certain subject that he wants to delve into.
I believe that this forum is a perfect place to exchange experiences on various subjects, as we have users who are experts in gambling (soccer for example), others in the sub-topic of basketball/NBA, economics, mining and several other relevant subjects that we can cite as an example!

Man, there not so much such persons here. Too many of them already left this forum and there only few left.
In my previous post here (somewhere on first pages) i gave a list of those who is still here and whom i read personally. But yeah. it's nice that they still here and we can read them

Well said mate, those persons who voluntarily shared their knowledge, expertise and predictions are not God's and they probably make it correct and make it wrong at the same time. They are also same with us who of course continue to make themselves knowledgeable about that said gambling or what else and with that being said we should do the same thing as well on ourselves so that we can personally assess whether it is good to follow their predictions or suggestions or not right. So let's be thankful to their volunteer insights and leg's be responsible to ourselves also.

yes, I heard about pokerstars
but they don't take crypto, right?

I like the idea that "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" but on the other hand I'd also agree that some people are "naturals" for some skills like math, persuasion, or even hiding feelings.

Indeed. Anyone is capable to be an expert in a certain field particularly gambling. Investing in yourself by fueling up your knowledge would be of great help if you want to be good at it. These people that were mentioned were knowledgeable because they exerted effort and time to know what they have to know about sports for example to make a calculated and strategic prediction on who will win or who has the more chances of getting the game. They are nice to help the newbies as well as to those people who still need guidance when betting. Their predictions might not be always right, but they could be a tool for others to base their decisions to. Of course, this still comes with a risk so we should still be responsible for our decisions. After all, they are not Gods, so let's not give them the burden of being a know-it-all.
