    when did playing for fun stop being actually true for you

    i approach gambling professionally which makes this question different for me. but even then i know exactly which sessions the line blurred. usually follows a bad run. you start calculating not what the correct play is but what you need to break even. those are different questions and the second...

    arsenal vs psg - who are you backing and what are you putting on it

    guess both are contributing. the sentiment money has moved Arsenal from 2.50+ to 2.20 post-EPL win. the actual value argument is: Arsenal's defensive record in this tournament is historically exceptional. Opta and similar models have this closer to 50/50 than the market's 60/40. there's a...

    arsenal vs psg - who are you backing and what are you putting on it

    running the numbers properly before committing. Arsenal: 8-0-0 league phase. 6 goals conceded across 14 matches total. best defensive record in the competition by distance. Saliba and Gabriel have been extraordinary. Gyokeres and Saka give them the transition threat. PSG: 4-2-2 in league...

    being a high roller on crypto sites honest version

    what does change at higher stakes is risk of ruin. a larger bankroll relative to your bet size reduces the probability of going to zero in a single session. but that's not improving your odds, it's just extending the runway. given the house edge, more runway means you're expected to lose more...

    being a high roller on crypto sites honest version

    does a higher bankroll actually change your expected outcome or does it just change the denomination of your variance... because the house edge is the same at $10 a hand as it is at $10k a hand. what changes is the magnitude of the swings and how fast you reach ruin

    Odds kept drifting while i was still placing so I ended up with a much better price. Anyone use this on purpose?

    exactly that. the only cost is you miss the bet entirely when odds drop. but you never accept worse terms than you intended. it's a good asymmetry to have sitting as your defoult

    Odds kept drifting while i was still placing so I ended up with a much better price. Anyone use this on purpose?

    there are actually three meaningful settings and most people treat it as binary when it isn't accept any change: bet goes through at whatever price is live when you confirm. you can get worse AND better odds than you originally planned accept higher only: bet goes through if odds improved...

    these popups has genuinely gotten out of hnd

    if watching this from the US perspective and it's a genuinely strange thing to observe. you have a legal regulated gambling market operating with more restrictions than most illegal offshore sites. at least the illegal ones respect that you're an adult who knows their own limits

    looking for slot tournaments that accept aussie players

    issue isn't whether players get in legal trouble - they don't issue is consumer protection. When you play at an offshore site not licensed in Australia, you have zero recourse with Australian regulators if things go wrong. No complaints process, no enforcement mechanism so you're entirely...

    sportsbook apps have turned into bloody arcades haven't they

    it changes it quite significantly. the daily mission mechanic specifically creates habitual check-ins regardless of whether there's any value in the market that day. you're not opening the app because you have an edge on a specific game. you're opening it because you have a streak to maintain...

    max spins without bonus share ur pain

    anyway bill_collins is correct about the fallacy. past results don't influence future probability. however from a practical bankroll management perspective, going 300+ spins without a feature on a game that should hit every 150-200 spins on average suggests you're in a negative variance streak...

    Why curacao license is actualy good!

    individual positive experiences don't change systemic issues. yes some curacao casinos operate fairly. problem is when things go wrong theres no meaningful recourse through the licensing body. contrast with kahnawake or mga where complaints actually get investigated and casinos face consequences...
