101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Converting altcoin profits into Bitcoin? on: June 08, 2024, 08:28:56 PM
What if the Altcoin you hold decreases in value in the next 6-12 months, this method is very ineffective if you hope to make a profit from Altcoin to invest in Bitcoin. The crypto market is so volatile that no one can predict its price movements, what if your assets get stuck due to their value getting lower.
You need a mature strategy to manage your finances well, invest in a simple and easy way, always apply the DCA strategy to get Bitcoin regularly and you won't feel any impact on the market. The choice is yours, but if you want to invest in Bitcoin, never take the risk by expecting profits from Altcoins because the worst possibility could happen due to very high market volatility.
If you invested into the low potential altcoins, hence it’s hard to anticipate profits most especially if they end up losing their value instead. You will need another months or even years before you will see them rising again if ever. However, if you start DCAing with bitcoin today with your spare money, you might be in profits already after couple of months since we are now patiently waiting for a bull run to appear probably before the year ends or early next year. So just don’t expect too much from your future altcoins profits but invest separately slowly with bitcoin.

There's nothing wrong with long posts as long as its interesting and continue to generate interest as you read on like an investigative post or a unique concept about a platform or an issue about one project, I have no problem reading a long post.

It depends on the kind of topic, what I don't like about long posts is how the creator configures the posts, there should be spacing, correct placement of punctuation, highlight, and summary, and of course, if the poster is a quality poster.

This is a discussion platform we will always encounter long posts, check the scam accusations section and see for yourself.
Long posts might be quite tiring to read and comprehend to what’s the author is trying to express. However, it’s also a case to case basis. If the topic requires a detailed explanation so that the reader will easy get the target or the main thought, then having a long post is a must. But if a certain topic can be explained well through short but precise post, then that would be a lot better.

I’m not against with long posts, but if it’s obviously made for merit hunting, just to say a lot and talk a lot, regardless if it’s still on topic or off topic anymore, then I guess it won’t work in the forum. Majority of the readers/posters would still prefer for a short than lengthy post, as long as the main idea is there and it’s not off-topic.

+7.5... That's very tempting if you'll ask me.

Take that or regret missing the opportunity to bet on them as heavy underdogs. If Dallas upsets the Celtics in Game 2, we won't see that handicap in the succeeding games, especially if Dallas wins the two games on their home court. There are still a lot of doubts about Dallas in Game 2 because they were completely outplayed in Game 1, but as the fans are saying, that's just Game 1. This is the finals and a long series.
104  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Before Trading Bitcoin you should... on: June 07, 2024, 09:46:35 PM
Many of us are interested in trading in the market but we start trading without knowing the market well. After practicing trading for a few days we started real trading. I think the market is very easy and you can make a lot of profit in a short time so I start trading without knowing it well. This perception is the biggest reason for future loss to be a good trader you must acquire good knowledge on trading. The more time you spend in the market the better your trades will be.
That is how unfortunate it is that most of us invest and trade Bitcoin without knowing what is all about. Many people underestimate the market and sell their valuable assets and some properties for this sake but they lose in the end. This adds pressure on ourselves and this kind of investment approach is our practice, there is no way we can reach our goal and make progress but a losing investment.

That is why it is encouraged to seriously take this option and never take it easy as it is difficult in reality.

People do often trade for quick profits purposes, they become more greedy on money than they should be more concern first with acquiring knowledge and skills development. That’s why a lot of beginner traders end up losing because they lack the focus and concentration to study trading but jump quickly into trading even if they’re not mentally and emotionally ready enough. When they realized that all they got are just losses and few gains, that’s when they realized to start learning the basics so they can at least improve their trading performance.
105  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: As newbies we should know the significant risk in trading on: June 07, 2024, 08:59:07 PM
I wouldn't advise any newbie to start trading Immediately with your money, As a newbie, the very basic things you need to do is learn and gather lots of experience, study the reason 95% of traders lose money, which majority of them are stated in Op, and allow them stick to your memory and then avoid those mistakes when you must have started trading, this way you will have higher chances of becoming a successful trader over the long run as other things you would apply in your trading journey will now come from experience when you must have started trading, whereas psychology plays an important role in trading.
Trading is certainly not for newbies as they can only be more susceptible to losses and mistakes. Let them explore first on the basic knowledge and skills needed in trading the market so that they can set a lot of time learning and preparing theirselves on how to be potential traders. While trading can attract faster and bigger profits, but that will only be possible for professional and reliable traders, but beginner traders have definitely a lot more to learn before they can be successful and profitable in trading.
106  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: With is the minimum post require to earn a merit on: June 07, 2024, 07:56:40 PM
The minimum post to earn merit is one post. You can make one post and earn several merits if the post is very useful and helpful. You can make hundreds of posts and no one will send merit to the posts because they are useless or of low quality.

Read what good posters are posting and start being like them. Post something useful and help.
Earning merits do not matter the number of post you make a day, but it matters much on the quality and usefulness of your post that even a single post can earn multiple merits. However, the more merits you make, the more chances of getting merits, but for a good and quality poster, even a single, short but precise post will definitely attract a lot of merits from different members in the forum knowing that post has seen very useful and helpful to the majority.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 07, 2024, 11:47:28 AM

There's a big line movement happened, from -5.5 now up to -9.5. Whoever move that line is sure enough SMB is gonna win. Here's some logic, who would not take Meralco +9.5 after winning in game 1? This looks very easy to judge. Anyone riding my theory?

What's happening? This isn't right? I guess the mafia are now playing and try to cash out easy money. This line is really suspicious and we don't even have an idea what's happening inside. A typical gambler who does not care for the line movement would easily take +9.5, and probably even meralco moneyline.  Betting line movement like this is hard to pass, I'd go with you guys, falling on your theory @jap.

The game has started, and SMB is taking control in the first quarter. If they continue to dominate and lead by double digits, that might suggest the theory is right. However, it's still too early to tell, as a lot can happen in a PBA game. I've seen teams come back from being down by 20 points to win by double digits.

I'm not betting on this game; I'm just watching for fun. However, I'd like to see SMB win to even the series. A long series is always exciting, and I'm hoping for a game 7 to make it even more thrilling.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: June 07, 2024, 10:59:31 AM
2 words to describe Game 1. TOTAL DOMINATION.

The Celtics were too good in the first half, especially in the first quarter. And I think the Mavs didn't expect and were discouraged by Porzingis' performance in the first half. Let's see if the Mavs can make the necessary adjustments in the second game, but it's already clear that the second game of the final series will be critical for the Mavs because if they are down 0-2, they will hardly be able to recover from that.
They'll make an adjustment in game 2, that's necessary for them to hav a chance to even the series. The problem with the Mavericks is they are still using the same strategy when they beat the Wolves, this is a diferent team now with all the starters are great 3 point shooters.

Just check out the starting 5.

Brown     2-6
Tatum   3-7
White     3-8
Holiday    2-5
Horford     2-5

See that numbers, all of them are threat in the outside so Celtics can't leave the corner like they do with the Wolves. They need to play good one on one defense so they'll be able to limit the opportunity of some kick out pass when the Celtics are trying to attack the paint.
109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't you think you should invest in Bitcoin instead of burning your money in fire on: June 06, 2024, 09:45:50 PM
Real Talk, OP. This kids need have proper orientation and strong moral background because regret is bound when one realizes the lost years, and might be too late or become a struggle to start all over again, I do not understand the reason behind such attitudes were one waste money for something of no value and productivity. Instead of gearing up for the future goals.
There is a saying that goes; Make hay when the sun shines".
Exactly. Even if these kids have no means to invest at a young age, but they should be more responsible on where to put their money and smoking is certainly the worst option for that. Smoking will only put one’s health at a high risk of damaging it, instead of taking care of it in preparation for their future goals and activities. No regrets are coming at the start, it’s always in the end, so if these kids will be enlightened from their bad habits, they won’t be regretting a lot at the end of the day.
110  Economy / Economics / Re: Things to avoid when you earn a lot or become rich on: June 05, 2024, 11:56:56 PM
I believe it's okay to buy expensive things right away, as long as we need a small share of wealth to do so and such purchases won't endanger our condition by depriving us of resources we might need for other purposes. I do agree that it's good to ask yourself about the goal, and that buying stuff to impress other people isn't smart, but if it's something you really want, and it makes sense to you, it's okay to buy it.
Of course, if you have outstanding debt, I agree that it must be the first priority to pay it off, and it's not good to take more debt.
Buying yourself a reward after all your hardwork has paid off is never wrong. As long as you are capable to provide it for yourself by not putting your finances at risk, then that would be fine. But more than that, if you have unfinished business like paying your debt first or helping your parents with some financial assistance, then give more priority to that. Luxury can wait and you can buy a lot more when you are more capable to buy in the future.
111  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When you make mistakes, do not fail to take corrections. on: June 05, 2024, 11:00:29 PM
Actually is always good to take corrections whenever time we make mistakes, though most people don't always like to take corrections when they make mistakes, instead of taking corrections they will still claim to be right this is why most people find it very difficult to learn. Because we can only learn from those mistakes we make, and the only way we can learn from our mistakes is to admit when we're wrong so as to take corrections.
Not only we are doing it because it’s good, but certainly we are doing it because it’s the right thing to do. Mistakes are bound to be corrected at all cost, that is to prevent from creating the same mistakes again that will hinder your future success. However, you’re right here, not all people have the ability to admit their own mistakes as they chose to prove instead that they are right, that’s the biggest problem for those people who cannot dare to see theirselves losing and committing mistakes in the long run.
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: June 03, 2024, 03:34:36 PM
I am not entirely sure if Dallas is the favourites, sure they did manage to beat some tough teams to get here, and even beat some tough teams that beat other tough teams, hence why many think that it is quite possible for Dallas to win.

But, we need to remember that Boston has been quite strong as well. Just because they manage to beat their opponents easily, doesn't mean they had easy opponents, it just means that we are going to end up seeing a team that is actually quite good. I am not saying Boston will win, I am just saying Dallas doesn't have a sure thing here, we are going to probably see both teams go head to head quite strong, and I can see that this could also be a six or seven game series as well, they are quite evenly matched.

Boston is the favorite to win the series.
See the odds below;

Quote
Boston Celtics Vs. Dallas Mavericks Series Winner Odds
Team   Moneyline
Boston Celtics   -220
Dallas Mavericks   +184
https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/celtics-mavericks-finals-preview-betting-odds-2024

The hype probably belong to the Dallas as they almost sweep the Timberwolves in the series, while the Celtics came from a boring victory as they easily dominated their opponents, swept the Pacers in the ECF. That's why we re gambling because there's no assurance as to what team will win, but if you are  Dallas fan and you are confident they'll beat the Celtics, you should not waste your time and take that +184 while it's still available.
113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there a legal jurisdiction backing up gamblers against the casino oppression? on: June 03, 2024, 02:59:01 PM
I was thinking if there's a jurisdiction conveyed to backup gamblers during when the casino tends to take advantage over a gambler such as when a the casino penalizes a gambler uncalledfully without a prove of violation.
I only learn that some individuals can only take such case personal upon themselves for a resolution of justice for such a helpless gambler but my question is if is there any jurisdiction to backup interests of gamblers as much terms and conditions of casino sites lies to tender legal backups to the Casino companies?
You need a lawyer to sue them, and that should be in the jurisdiction where they are operating. So, it's really risky to gamble at a casino that is not operating in your country because if they cheat and you want to take legal action against them, it can be very costly and time-consuming for you. The tip here to prevent that from happening is not to risk a lot of money in one casino only. This way, if you get scammed, it would not be hard for you to move on. All you have to do is inform the community that they are scammers. In this way, you'll achieve some form of justice by damaging their reputation and simultaneously helping the community avoid the scam casino.
114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deontay Wilder Vs Zhilei Zhang JUNE 1 Heavyweight on: June 03, 2024, 02:25:28 PM
I don't think that the psychologist can help him get over his mental problems and be back at his former self. As what we have seen, when he fought Fury he was really exposed as just one dimensional fighter who just rely on his power. Although in the first fight, he was able to score a knock down, but in the rematch it was different and that really take a lot, as hee had become someone else.

So we don't know what's his future, maybe he is now considering retirement. Now he is old, he can't just rely solely on his power, he needs to learn to be a boxer. But it's too late for him now.

He needs a psychologist to help him accept his defeat and retire happily because he cannot go back to boxing and still expect to win. The way I see it, he has a big problem within himself. Every time he loses, it seems like he doesn't acknowledge the winner and still thinks he is the better fighter. Wilder is delusional; he thinks he is still living in his boxing superstar days and hasn't suffered a defeat yet. We have a lot of heavyweight fighters ready to make names for themselves. Let's give them a chance, and old boxers like Wilder should retire already.
115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: June 03, 2024, 12:26:22 PM
I'm reading some good stats on this finals, Luka and Kyrie averages 51.6, while Tatum and Brown averages 51.0. So that even out everything if they are going to play that big in the finals. And again, we all know that defense win the game, so we will see how each team will have their best defenders, like White and Jrue Holiday for the Celtics and then we have PJ Washington, Derrick Jones Jr., or even Josh Green and Dante Exum.

So it's really a intriguing finals match-up, Kyrie harboring resentment against the Celtics, and then Tatum and Brown trying to erase that stigma against the Warriors in 2022 wherein they have a good lead in the series only to crumble down.

It's a system game between them I know players win the game like MJ said, but it's more on how the coach will design their plays, I think the series will be a game of adjustments, though both of them deserves to win as they are now in the finals, but who will win will depend to who's more hunger to take the trophy,  it going to be rely to how fans believe on them and for sure both teams got their own crowd that relying to how they'll going to play their game during the series.

Tatum and Brown are just being hype, when Kyrie played with the Celtics, he was their best player, and now he is back, he is still very confident as the was their leader before. Kyrie and Luka were the real superstar here, and a real superstar knows how to win games in clutch, and honestly (no offense), I don't see both Tatum and Brown are good in clutch times.

I could be wrong though, but sorry, this is just my personal opinion and I can't lie although it might hurt the Celtcis fans.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kicking/banning and or limiting a player for winning too much on: June 03, 2024, 07:36:59 AM

By the way if any gambler is so lucky that he is wining a lot of bets and games, so instead of gambling at one casino, he can gamble at multiple casino and avoid being coming in the eyes of the gambling site owners that his winning ratio is high.

Gamblers does not see that way, they believe that they are lucky playing on a certain casino rather than a certain game, so they will not take their business somewhere else. Limiting is actually normal, but it's only for those who are betting a lot of money, but for bets like $100 to $500 and then the casino will limit your because you are winning, that pretty much say that they just have a limited bankroll and therefore it's hard to trust them with big money.

However, these things are already beyond our control as the casino are the ones operating the business, all we can do is just to accept it but should not resort to breaking the rules, otherwise instead of winning, we might face some trouble and that our funds will be stuck.

The interesting story here about the record of SMB which was 10-1 in the regular season was they only loss to the Meralco Bolts. But it was their last game in the season as they already secured the top 1 in the ranking, a low scoring game (95-92), so we can say that Meralco is capable of beating the SMB.

We can check the boxscore here

Something that might give bettors some heads up, I mean even it's only in the regular season the chance still possible, but I rather to enjoy wathcing the game than placing a bet which really tough to take as there's upset that can be done and we don't know when it will happen, it's more on how the bettors will take their own research and how they will place their bets, it's more on how you think it was, hahaha, instinct or something inside you as a gambler's mindset!

If I will put my bet on SMB with the spread in the pre game, I think it will not be a wise idea as most likely Meralco will just cover. So here's what I'm gonna do, sometimes SMB will have a sloppy start and will let Meralco take a good lead, that is the opportunity I'm taking if the spread is lower than the pregame spread or if the moneyline is over +100. It could be a rare opportunity, but knowing how PBA operates, they love to excite the fans, so I'll take chances.
118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Beterbiev vs. Bivol - Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship on: June 02, 2024, 01:08:09 PM
Looking at the odds, Zhang is the slight favorite over Wilder. Both carries a huge punch but Zhang is not fast so maybe Wilder has a good chance here. Except that Zhang has a granite chin while Wilder isn't. I think Zhang has never tasted the canvass in his pro career.

And I also see the power of the Bronze Bomber also declining, and he needs to be in his best shape because Zhang defense is underrated and it's hard to clip him. And as you have said, solid chin and also has power. And so it's more on Wilder's shoulder to win here so that he can still have money fight with AJ. Otherwise a lost will strike his name out from the Saudis.

It's amazing how the older Zhang disrespected Wilder's power by marching forward and letting the American know that he is the hunter in the fight. So as usual, once Wilder is on the backfoot, there is a slim chance of him winning unless he is lucky to lands his wild punches but given his limited skills, it'll be harder.

Wilder is not getting younger so pretty sure his strength and speed are declining and it affects the power of his punches. And now the he was stopped and fully dominated by Zhang, I am not sure if there is still interest of an AJ fight unless the British losses again in his next fight.

Do you mean AJ vs Zhang? Because if it's vs Wilder, then I think it's not necessary anymore, and he might not be able to stand up after getting knocked down. Wilder is already 38 years old, so he is getting old, but Zhang is even older at 41. I guess it's time for him to hang up his gloves and call it a career, though it doesn't end well after starting with a great winning streak, all by KO.

Even AJ gave retirement advice to Wilder.

Casino will not allows one person have two accounts and used that account to gambling. They will knows if their members trick them and what your friend did is one of the trick. Casino deserves to ban their casino if casino found their members do something suspicious.


Whether a user creating two accounts does not have an intention to cheat but it's obviosuly a violation to the TOS. Therefore a casino has its right to ban and confiscate the money if necessary. it's a lesson so that everyone should read the TOS, not only upon signing up but regularly as TOS can be change overtime, or maybe susbscribe with the casino so you'll receive an email regarding any changes.

OP's concern is not new, but out of frustration due to account getting limited, it's not a reason to create another one with the same sportsbook/casino, why not try to gamble in different casino, that way he won't create a problem.
120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 02, 2024, 09:38:37 AM
I don't know yet the betting spread in game one but it's like be -5.5 for the SMB and I will gladly take it. Actually, Meralco only won that series because Ginebra is undermanned, no Grey and Malonzo who are both great outside shooters, but now Meralco will be facing a healthy SMB which is a better team that Ginebra.

Because the game 1 is on June 5, so it's too early to expect for the odds. Just relax a bit, I understand the urge to bet but just like the NBA, they also have a break to rest and be fully ready in the Finals. By the way, anyone here interested to bet with my, I'm betting on the SMB and will be giving a spread of -2.5 for my team. Just DM me if anyone is interested here.

That's a nice handicap for Bolts, if there are Meralco fans here I'm sure they'll take that. Knowing the PBA, anything can happen, they can manipulate this to make it a long series, maybe at max of game 6, but if Meralco will have 2 wins, that's automatic winning the series right?

I won't be betting on this, sorry, I'll pass because I allocate my funds in the NBA where I can see the NBA finals is 50/50 despite it doesn't look like that in the sportsbook.

Yeah, I also think that it's more exciting or interesting betting with NBA finals than PBA though I'm always vocal regarding to how bias am I since SMB is the one who's going to play for the finals, but I think PBA will play this series to make money, especially now that they are reaching places that still gaining fans interest.

Let see if there are fans here any kabayan that will take the offer, Best of luck mga Kabayan!

The interesting story here about the record of SMB which was 10-1 in the regular season was they only loss to the Meralco Bolts. But it was their last game in the season as they already secured the top 1 in the ranking, a low scoring game (95-92), so we can say that Meralco is capable of beating the SMB.
