RE: I've been hacked and I've got about 500 STEEM stolen
I'm an accountant in my so-called real life and as soon as I read the word "steemdice" I knew this story would not be good.
I'm one of the people who cannot put quarters in a slot machine because I think about the laundry I could do with them. I hope you never go back and I'm glad it was not a more costly event.
If there is any steemfootball or steemlottery or steempoker - stay away from those too!
there is steempoker, and it's good... free to play, SBD to win... organised by @spl (steemit poker league) ...they play games on pokerstars and lucksacks.com just using the sites playchips, winners get rewarded SBD here on steemit... i've been playing with them for a few months, won lots, not been hacked yet... if anyone feels like playing i would say it's worth checking them out.
it's good to advise caution but there are some good games out there...
As an accountant and busy person - I don't recommend games under most conditions. Most of the experience I have had with gaming ends up to take the person's time away from more important life issues if not their money. I don't have any direct experience of playing any myself.
As long as you feel you get a benefit and are not going to get hacked when walking away from your computer as in the story above - go ahead and be safe.
perhaps i'm lucky being very not busy most of the time, perhaps not... to me enjoying life is a fairly important issue, and playing a few games every day which can pay me a few steemdollars or a few hundred thousand satoshis seems like a good way to do that... better than wasting time on angry birds or some other nonsense... also stops me going crazy from thinking about the real world too much...
I can guarantee you that if I spent any time in any games i would not be winning any money. It would definitely be me paying the piper so I do not even try.
I just never got into any games at all - my to do list is too long. My son is pokefreak and I do not get it one bit but he's all in for about 20 years now I think.
I did see that bird game once being played by a friend of mine. I think I saw his brain matter dripping out at the same time. He tried to show me the thrill, but no - not buying it :)
This is awe-inspiring.
So interesting.
Well done!
You've got a true talent.
Impressive work.
Well researched.
Amazing effort.
