RE: Steem Gamblers Association: Introduction Post

If you are planning to keep tagging people keep me on the list. I don't mind the tag and it will remind me to take a look.

To talk about streaks is hard as someone that has gambled in most every large casino in Vegas and many others I know that in the most regulated environments the double up until you win approach doesn't work. Odds are all about large numbers and in the short term anything can happen. That said I get why some people feel like the unlucky streaks are a little more then just bad luck.

Part of this feeling comes from the anonymity of the ownership of sites and lack of any sort of regulation. Due to legalities in SO many areas I can understand owners not wanting to be public with their involvement in these gambling sites. I don't have the solution to the issue, but would love to see conversations on how this could be solved.

Oh and I am all for Kryptogamers right now. I've played enough rolls there to know that while there are "bad streaks" they are within reason and love the 1% edge vs 2% as it really adds up when you have made multiple thousands worth of bets.

Hi thedarkhorse,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't plan on mass tagging people in every post unless it's a critical warning and one of these sites has turned for the worst. I recommend you or anyone who collects these tokens or plays periodically check in if they think these tokens or websites will provide any sort of income stream that can be relied upon.

If the odds are fair, I definitely won't argue them. It's silly when people complain it's impossible that the casino got 3 blackjacks in a row, it's certainly uncommon but probably happens every single day at any busy betting establishment.

Online gambling is always questionable especially when there is a lack of trust, who regulates these people? This account is the first attempt I've seen on Steem and it is desperately needed. It's definitely fair to question the numbers and actions of anonymous people who have zero accountability. Instead of relying on governments to provide regulation, maybe grassroots organizations can take charge. I certainly trust well known Steem accounts more than most politicians.

Kryptogames has by far the best odds. As shown in a post here their dividends are smaller as a result of the better odds and this is expected which confirms the fairness of their website. Rational people looking to win shouldn't even play on the other sites where the odds are literally twice as bad. I also like blackjack because it is more fun than just clicking a button and the odds are even better than a 1% house take on dice.
