this is getting sad /v/
>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

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.
>>339369952
>>339369997
how do it come to this
>>339369952i've been betting on and off for years and i never make anythingi'm terrible at this shit
>>339370046
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.
>>339370046
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.
>>339370046
When valve made skins worth real money
Theres betting in Dota 2 as well
>>339370116
this is literally incorrect
>>339370116
>>339370116
What if you bet on your own games?
>>339370116
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.
>>339370340
That actually happens all the time with CSGO!
Pros throw matches quite often.
>>339370116
>This is what /v/ actually believes
>>339369863
In comparison to what, Sydney or Melbourne?
Don't kid yourself
>>339370389

I wonder if they think it was worth it.
>>339369509

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.
>>339369952
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?
>>339370628
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.
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?
>>339370578
>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.
Gambling should just be outlawed. Basically just taking advantage of retards
>>339370221
>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.
>>339370685
They even added a spinning wheel when opening csgo cases
>>339371007
Is it not?
>>339370116
Everything you do must be a gamble then
>>339370550
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.
>>339370348
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
>>339369509
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 $2000 last year. I only made about 500 in skins at the time, but prices shot up on some of the stuff I got.
A friend of mine has gathered roughly 1200$+ 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.
>>339370550
>>339370912
>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.
>>339371059
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

>>339369612
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.
>>339370116
>GAMBLING IS BASED PURELY ON CHANCE, IF THERE IS"AN UNCERTAIN OUTCOME" INVOLVED THEN IT ISN'T GAMBLING. HOLY FUCK

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

>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"
>>339369860
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.
>>339371694
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?
>>339372028
>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

Doing it right

Stop.
It would interesting to see what slimy bullshit Valve would pull if the gambling commission brought the hammer down on them
>>339372142
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.
>>339372529
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."

>>339372391
>>339372340
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.
>>339372578
>No one is saying that you SHOULDN'T be able to gamble
>>339371327
>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.

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.
>>339372862

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.

This is why you'll always be a boy and never a man, enjoy backing down from every risk and relying on substances to carry your sorry ass through life.
So fucking ugly. All gamers are ugly.
>>339370116
They are not gambling on their own games.
>>339371238

Sorry, but even then, there is a huge chunk of luck involved.

That's exactly what make it gambling.
