>I bet all my money on skins
How does that even work?

also, are money match the same as gambling?

>australians

gambling laws are retarded

>Brisbane

Makes sense someone so retarded would be from there.

Skins are like chips in a casino, you bet them in pro matches and then either cash them in or sell them in steam for Gabenbucks.

I bet skins all the time, that's how I buy my steam games. It's ridiculously easy to make some money with them if you follow the scene at all.

There are people who make enough money gambling skins on CSGO professional matches that they can sell those skins and literally not have to work.

Skin betting is fucking huge.

how do it come to this

i've been betting on and off for years and i never make anything
i'm terrible at this shit

What's wrong with it? Besides underage gambling.

GAMBLING IS BASED PURELY ON CHANCE, IF THERE IS SKILL INVOLVED THEN IT ISN'T GAMBLING. HOLY FUCK.

Cucks and bitching women will soon ask daddy government to clamp down on it, don't worry. All it'll take is one "suicide" by some kid who lost a lot and then the regulations will come.

When valve made skins worth real money
Theres betting in Dota 2 as well

this is literally incorrect

...

What if you bet on your own games?

By that logic, if you bet on horses at a derby it isn't gambling. Or even greyhound races. It's based of the skill of the animal and the jockey.

That actually happens all the time with CSGO!
Pros throw matches quite often.

>This is what Sup Forums actually believes

In comparison to what, Sydney or Melbourne?

Don't kid yourself

>Throwing away their careers for some skins

I wonder if they think it was worth it.

>that jawline

HAHAHAHHAHA

Thank you, Valve

Some have gotten caught, but if you put a max bet down on an underdog with low odds you can make more money on that than the tournament you're playing in if you're a lower tier team. Or that's usually the case at least.

Isn't that more money march matches than Gamblings, though?

I mean, for Gambling, you should watch two people play on Twitch and bet who is going to win.

Is Valve a casino?

Valve has been encouraging gambling since their introduction of crates in TF2 years ago.
I'm surprised they haven't gotten in some sort of legal trouble because of it.

Nice outline of Valve (or Blizzard) and facecam culture driving the sales further. Can't think of a man who did more damage to video games than Gabe Newell.

I couldn't care less if some 18+ retard wastes their cash on imaginary knives, but how does Gaben gets away with what's basically a unregulated worldwide casino for 13 years olds?

>I mean, for Gambling, you should watch two people play on Twitch and bet who is going to win.

You watch two pro teams play and bet who is going to win.

>Fundamental difference between gambling and "random chance"

The most evil thing I've seen in a while.

Gambling should just be outlawed. Basically just taking advantage of retards

>mfw poker is gambling now

It only punishes people who play CS-GO and they deserve to eat a bit of shit now and again.

They even added a spinning wheel when opening csgo cases

Is it not?

Everything you do must be a gamble then

that made me feel bad that i bought some keys before. but i got a knife after about $20 and sold it for $220 and never bought cases again so im feeling pretty good about coming out on top of that.

It's gambling because it is based on odds out of your control that your bet doesn't affect (outside of rigged races). This is different than a card game played against other people like poker, but not different than blackjack

Maybe this is why Aussies shitpost so hard. They ruin their lives and have nothing to live for.

I never use third party sites because they rip you off.

I do bets with friends though, Made about $2000 last year. I only made about 500 in skins at the time, but prices shot up on some of the stuff I got.

(You?) should not have focused on vanity so much. Exposing a pretty obvious gambling scheme (aimed at children) is enough. In fact therein lies the most compelling argument that video games ARE indeed, harmful (through a byproduct).

I bet Edmund McMillen is kicking himself in the hemorrhoids for not finding a way to set up an in-game shop in Binding of Isaac.

A friend of mine has gathered roughly 1200$+ worth in items. Mainly through trading, but also betting a lot on matches. Now when I see him he doesn't even play the game much anymore. Just watching streams and betting. All the time.

>it's a fat nagging cunt and betas trying to cry to valve to regulate freedom instead of letting people make bad decisions
Shocker, really.

No. You're playing against other players where your skill, in the long run, determines how much you win. Compare to other casino games where the chances of winning are either set in stone (roulette) or capped by the nature of the play (blackjack), both of which are played against the house and are worse than 50% odds. Poker has no odds outside of the cards themselves because the winner is determined by human decisions.

GET THE FUCK IN HERE, SOME AUSSIE SPENT HIS LIFE SAVINGS ON OVERWATCH SKINS

> quit

Ban vegas casinos ffs!

>people

It's almost as if society has the laws in place to protect the vulnerable for a reason. It's almost as if gambling is an addiction and it's almost as if Valve is funneling money into development of skinner box models and f2p schemes with the game being a sideshow.

Why don't you go read Ayn Rand some more you fucking retard.

Money matches are matches where both sides bet equivalent amounts of money that they win. Player A would get $100 from Player B if Player A defeated Player B in a $100 money match.

>GAMBLING IS BASED PURELY ON CHANCE, IF THERE IS"AN UNCERTAIN OUTCOME" INVOLVED THEN IT ISN'T GAMBLING. HOLY FUCK
Fixed it for you CAPTAIN CAPS LOCK

HAHAHA
fuck him, he should have had the common sense to avoid gambling on something so fucking stupid

...

>Hey, let's put a bunch of money into a system that's designed to make me lose!
I will never understand this

>Trying to justify taking advantage of gambling addictions and twitch culture using semantics

Truly Valve is scum, I feel bad for spending a dime on any of their games.

>not be content with betting nickels and winning dimes

>gambling laws
>protecting the vulnerable
You should kill yourself you dumb fucking faggot. The irony is you're probably all about legalizing weed and ending the "war on drugs"

The gaming commission needs to fucking regulate this shit as well as these out of control gacha machines that exist in every game made in the last 3 years.

Fucking assloads of low-tax money with no regulation or guarantee of a certain payout like a real casino. It's shameful.

Drugs should be regulated and sold by licensed vendors, yes.

However, going to a drug store and being said "you can buy this drug for five dollars OR you can bet 2.50 for a random chance (totally not gambling) to win a 50 dollar drug pack" should be forbidden lest the drug store is a heavily taxed casino which forbids entrance to minors.

Now go read your Atlas Shrugged you mongoloid.

Eh, Orange Box and L4D were fine. Though I do regret installing Steam for them.

Most gambling regulation anywhere in the developed world is most likely preventing a majority of minors from gambling. So yes they are protecting the most vulnerable.

Are you an invalid?

>someone wants to ingest addictive substances
Yeah dude legalize it, no harm at all lol
>someone wants to place a wager on a coin landing on heads
ADDICTIVE AND BAD DURRR GAMBLING IS HORRIBLE

Really though you need to fucking kill yourself.

HOW TO WIN AT GAMBLING

Doing it wrong
> these chances look accurate, I place a bet on the team that I think will win

Doing it right
> these chances do not look accurate, I place a bet on the team that has higher chances than depicted

Are you illiterate?

>celebrity avatarfagging
Stop.

Legalizing drugs has been proven to work and reduce crime while providing benefits for the state. Hard drugs were sold freely in Victorian England, one of the most uptight environments in history.

You're a textbook example of facetious bonehead. I would feel sorry for you but I do have something of Randian disdain for blind and crippled.

Did you receive answer to your janitorial application in the mail? How about you start replying to this post, if you get dubs I will give you two Emmas, trips nets you four Kristen Stewarts and quads gives you one Gabe Newell.

It would interesting to see what slimy bullshit Valve would pull if the gambling commission brought the hammer down on them

No one is saying that you SHOULDN'T be able to gamble, what people are saying is that the target audience and the lack of regulation regarding this gambling is not OK

You are a fucking moron.

No, i'd rather report your sorry ass and have the mods take out the trash.

Valve's crates aren't "gambling" in the same way Pachinko isn't "gambling."

>boards.fireden.net/v/search/filename/Trip her Dudley.jpg/
Oh look, the avatarfagging fuck is defending tripshits.
Attention whores are so goddamn pathetic.

Funny how you didn't address the point at all. Probably because you know how hypocritical it is to be for the legalization of drugs while wanting to outlaw gambling. So you'll just namecall and skirt around the points.

>No one is saying that you SHOULDN'T be able to gamble
>It's almost as if society has the laws in place to protect the vulnerable for a reason. It's almost as if gambling is an addiction and it's almost as if Valve is funneling money into development of skinner box models and f2p schemes with the game being a sideshow.

That rounders flick did wonders to expose an endless succession of retards of your calibre.

>Poker has no odds outside of the cards themselves

How do you people function in daily life.

No dubs trips or quads, try again, here's a key, turn it.

Why don't you just bet real money you fucking autist ?

I bet on league and CS:Go every so often

tab back into your h3h3 video you fucking cuck

>Funny how you didn't address the point at all.

He did address the point in the very post you quoted, you fucking moron.

>proven to work
Citation needed

How about you fuck off with your irony-based defense mechanism and you stop breaking the rules of this site, dipshit?

Do you have some sort of cognitive defect?

I think you're dropping strawmans unintentionally.

>what is Amsterdam where drugs and prostitution are legal while flaunting lower crime rate than any US city

>avatarfag calling others retards

>bet $200 worth of assimovs on a 80-30 tier 3 team
>lose 16-2

Valve need to do something and NO i never have gambled since.

>drugs help society
This doesn't address the point. being for the legalization of consuming known addictive substances while being against gambling because it can be addictive is inherently retarded and you know it.

>again failed to address the point
wew lad

Damn, no trips / dubs / quads again. How about you try scoring quints and if you win I will give you ten replies for free.

I want you to keep replying so I can keep reporting.
That way it'll be easier for mods to see that you are avatarfagging.

this

I noticed that I have a gambling problem when I gambled 4000 euros worth of skins few times with 50% chance of winning. But in the end, I gained a lot of profit and stopped it all at once.

>m-m-mmuh waifus
Gotta wonder what kind of neckbeard does this.

very ugly and he looks weak bodied

he's not helping the perception of gamers

Not him, but are you unable to read?
Selling drugs to adults: OK
Selling drugs to kids: not OK

Allowing adults to gamble: OK
Allowing kids to gamble: not OK

I didn't think it was very hard
Is that Rose Byrne? I'd love to spend a day just having my cock resting on her face

>Allowing adults to gamble: OK
>Allowing kids to gamble: not OK
Literally none of the posts I replied to had stated this. Kill yourself.

Only against cringeworthy avatarfagging.
There's no difference between that and tripfagging, which you have already defended in another thread.

Sup Forums,Sup Forums,tv
duh

See:

It allways was.

t. manchild who comes to a website about anonimity and tries to take that away by posting le epic waifus

If you want to be an attention whore, Reddit is the place.

>not one of those even mentions minors

Apparently it's you that's unable to read
