    The most important reason why CSGO skins became so expensive is third party trading sites .. no one would buy a dragon lore for 14000 dollars on the damn steam market . And the gambling sites wouldn't exist in such a scenario .
    CSGO skins .. valve's cases .. third party sites .. gambling sites .. all are working together like a fine mechanism to keep the entire thing running .

      @@asdzsolt6442 The problem is that people don't recognize how well the gambling sites capitalize on a huge portion of the casual/underage market to suck them dry of marketable assets. You can talk all you like about how to be aware of and manipulate the skins market but that's addressing maybe 10 percent (on a sunny day) of people who engage with the system. We don't define populations by their exceptions; we define them by their medians.

      @daneemadee ปีที่แล้ว +6

      i used to be real big on gambling in csgo back in 2017. But it was mainly because i was WINNING.
      Idk why, I was just like, insanely lucky. I think I deposited a little under 150 dollars and withdrew over 1700 in total over the course of 2017.
      I did however find a shitty strategy - you deposit on sites that have just opened, or when a website has just restocked on skins, as thats when the odds to get something nice are the highest (especially on crash or multiply) as some websites only give you your winnings in skins, and you can only win skins that they have. At some point I had some of their bots on my chrome favourite tab so i could check when they restocked.
      As a third-world country high schooler that money was quite nice to have in crypto throughout 2017-2020, as it was rare for me to spend any money on anything.
      There's a girl i like? I can ask her out to a nice restaurant. An event is coming up that requires a nice bit of cash? No need to ask my parents, I can withdraw ethereum.
      It also helped that throughout 2017 the prices kept rising. 2018 was quite rough with the price drop all the way to 200$, but because I didnt really need 200$ and felt bad withdrawing all of it, i got through the crypto winter and came out with something like 3-4 thousand dollars in the winter.
      I will graduate school this summer, and I just used the last of my crypto to buy myself a 1000$ suit and a pair of 200$ shoes, and it feels absolutely awesome when my mom tells everyone i somehow bought it myself, however i probably wont tell her I used gambling money for that lmao.

    I can really relate to this video. I started doing csgo/rust gambling when I was 12. It all started when a friend of mine told me about a site where i could earn more skins with the skins I have. I was so clueless and didn't really even know what gambling was. I started with my 20 dollar inventory than won 50 bucks. The adrenaline rush from that win exploded me to gamble thousands more over the years. I finally confessed to my parents about it after I won 1300 dollars on one bet and cashed out. I really think that there needs to be A LOT more awareness towards this community. I don't think I will ever not feel that adrenaline rush from winning a bet. And I really do blame these sites for sprouting that in me.

    In my country even the smallest casinos in the smallest cities are acting the same way as you mentioned on 12:12. Whenever you try quitting your addiction or just don’t visit for some time the up mentioned casinos, they start sending you money gifts, with sometimes unusually high prices.
    Hooking up on gambling is one of the worst addictions. If you want to gamble wether in areal casino or a skin gambling site be aware that you will most probably lose your money and do it only for fun (pretty much be fine with the amount that you might lose). Always keep in mind that this is not investing by any way. Maybe buying the skins right up from markets is some sort of investment due to the prices getting higher, but giving you money blindly on a slot machine is meant to be a pure entertainment.

    crazy how i didnt even think of this til earlier this year. Back when the arms deal came out me and my cousins were ecstatic. i opened 20 cases and got 2 knives. then those sites started showing up. We started betting and it got crazy. we all eventually had 5k inventories and we all back in like 2018-2019 stopped playing and sold most of our skins. One of them had poseiden, ruby, emerald, and saphire gut knife. I had full fade low float karambit, m9, bayo, and flip. All in all we all had crazy skins and now we regret selling cause most of our inventories 3x or even 4x. My other cousin even had hedge mazes when they were cheap and now theyre 8k which is crazy.

    Went from a free affiliate code to a FT m4 golden coil back to 0 around late 2015. Heart shattering to see my precious skin go away even if i hadnt even paid for it. Havent touched a gambling site since. Learned that lesson early and cheaply. Nowadays i open the occasional cases for fun. I think its important to look at the money you gamble with as SPENT and not invested or some other bullshit. To not expect to make money. But its fun to open some cases with friends every once in a while and i find this mindset made my knifepull feel so much more special since i wasnt expecting it

    I lost my $30 AWP Boom back around 2014 on a gambling website when I was then only 15 years old. I was so upset. Since then, I still have not gambled to this day.
    I think I’m one of the few lucky ones that lost and realized it was impossible to win. That $30 loss felt huge at the time. In hindsight, it was extremely small. I truly feel for those who don’t quit after a loss, especially those who are under age.

    I guess they will finally bring back the skins based on the new weapon models, otherwise it won’t make any sense why they developed and showcased the skins on the new models (Sun in Leo, Pink DDPAT, Dark Water, etc.). The old model is obviously just like the one in CSGO and the CS2 default skins would be better looking as every other skin. Make really no sense and is probably just an effect during development/testing maybe even testing reactions of the market. Weird move!!!
