Hi, some years back Waves has been hyped as the next Etherium. What do you all think about this project? Does it still have any potential?
Yes several years ago Waves was considered Ethereum's closest competitor but they are left behind in terms of development and adoption, I remember back then it was easy to create a token on Waves you only needed one Waves to create a token and even a newbie can create one. I remember creating one for fun and it's easy, but their platform is not popular now among developers they are not the chain of choice by developers. So many news chains came out and Waves was left behind in developing its platform so many investors dumped Waves because of their lag in marketing and development. It's better to invest in new chains like Solana or Polygon. |

If you are looking for a currency on a blockchain, we have one called bitcoin. Ethereum also has advanced smart contracts.
What are you looking to invent?
That's true so many people are trying to reinvent the wheel when the wheel is still ok and is still rolling, without giving a jab to OP, so many scammers are like that, creating a plan that will make the lives of the people better through blockchain when Bitcoin is the best option for every kind of concept related to blockchain. Bitcoin is enough for everything related to blockchain, OP why not work on Bitcoin's ecosystem or the use of Ethereum's smart contract for wider adoption instead of creating a new one? Just because Bitcoin's code is open source does not mean you will create your own, sell it to people and make a profit, that's not part of Satoshi's vision. |

On the other hand, did you hear the rant of Bob Arum in the post fight interview? He said that he will not bring any American fighter in Britain? and he really looks disgusted and he thinks that Taylor won the fight.
With British judges as the judge, he should not, I agree on this part but not on the part that he thinks that Taylor wins the match, no way he won that fight but it should not be with that wide margin, I did not score the fight but based on what I see Catterall won it by a slim margin.
After what has been said, Catterall already won in this rematch by a huge margin as per judges scorecard. Yes, it was a exciting as any fight will be as they are domestic rivals. And with the 140 lbs pretty much a great division with Teo Lopez, Matias, Pitbull Cruz, Garcia and Haney, it will be interesting to see how Catterall will fare against this American boxers.
I don't think he can, the skill level and the power are not enough to pair Catterall with Lopez, Pitbull Cruz or even Matias but he has a good chance against Haney although he is not that quick to counter Haney's quickness, he deserves to have a crack on the title as he has beaten the former undisputed champion convincingly, I'm sure Hearns will work on that but hopefully not in the British soil. |

I feel so bother and that is why I decided to ask this question.
We keep talking about gambling addiction and how bad it is to become addicted, does it mean that addicted gamblers lose money all the time? Do you means those guys doesn't win anything at all? Can they not be lucky to win jackpots? Every gambler has different narratives about why they become addicted to gambling yes majority of them win some win a small amount and gamble more to win more and some gamblers win huge amounts of money and want to duplicate those wins and win, when they keep playing they suffer losses and they chase their losses it's an ending cycle, for an addicted gambler even winning a jackpot will not stop them from continuing to gamble because they have found the thrill in gambling that they cannot found elsewhere. On this board, we are always referring addiction as a terrible thing but does it mean that those addicted gamblers doesn't win money, are they only bounded to losses upon losses? If they are not winning they would have given up of course they do win and because of the misconception that they can make a living from gambling they continue to try and continue their effort to gamble until its impossible for them to get out. |

And it was great fight indeed, but at the end of it all, it was Jack Catterall who come in top, with a score of 117-111, 2x and 116-113. Although the score card looks ridiculous, as it seems 9-3 for Catterall, but I guess the correct winner is announced.
Jack dominated the fight from the first round and Josh hasn't anything to offer in this fight. It's just so sorry for Jack that there are no more belts in the line, and if he was given the nod in the first fight, he could be the undisputed champion.
For Josh Taylor, as a boxing fans, I think it's time for him to retire.
The fight takes off where they left but this time Catterall is the more prepared between the two after reading the scorecard I was surprised by a very wide margin I agree that Catterall takes the win but 117- 111 is just too wide for a gap for a very close fight and with this lost Josh Taylor can think of retirement or maybe take a rest he is still young at 33 years old. He managed to get the weight but the aggressiveness was not there anymore he can move up to the next weight but the competition in the higher division is tough and I don't think he can manage to shine in another weight division which is the Welterweight division but on his interview, he wants to a have a third one well a third one is good but Catterall already calculated Taylor and I believe Catterall will still beat him. |

Lately, I have started day streaming as a sponsored gambler on one of the casinos I use to be a tester there, I chose one of the known platforms to start my stream, bought the gadgets I need even though Unfortunately I live in a country where the internet speed is limited, the quality of my stream isn’t as good as other popular streamers, however, I have got much support from the community and viewers, had fun and good slot hits.
For now my experience is pretty good for now, but I certainly need some advices from you to upgrade my channel, community, and how to grow and to the next step.
Do you think it is a bad thing to do, promoting gambling?
You did not mention the name of the platform I hope it's not Facebook, YouTube is ok and for other streaming platforms I don't see any issue promoting gambling as streamers so many people are also doing this as long as you out a disclaimer about the facts in gambling and you remind your audiences to be a responsible gambler. Streamers are good for those who first want to see games in a casino that you are promoting, some gamblers want engagement so they can get some tricks and guides on the games that are being streamed, if it's ok to you you can post your channel here but you need to upgrade your internet connection because you're going to lose followers ad viewers if the stream has too many lags. Just continue your streaming if you enjoy and you can help other gamblers to experience the excitement of the games you are streaming. |

Unfortunately, I failed to profit from these meme coins I was targeting new meme coins in the market so I could profit when they started to pump into the market but it's hard to get the right meme coins to invest in because there are so many new meme coins coming up and you need a big investment.
These old meme coins that are already in the market are also good but compared to a new meme coin they hardly get pumped, I have 5 or 6 meme coins in my wallet and these meme coins failed to get in the market and the developers did an early rug pull, so many meme coins are like this, because scammers and hackers are meme coins creators too.

It's a stack up cards so there's a lot of us boxing fans to look at not just this fight. Obviously the main even is Dmitri Bivol vs Malik Zinad. Although what we wanted is him against Beterbiev. But we will have to wait, Bivol just need to win this and then him and Beterbiev be rescheduled for this year hopefully.
It is a stack-up card and look it's only a week before the big fight could have been a lot more interesting if Beterbiev did not suffered an injury still a blockbuster event with the presence of Dubois and Hrgovic there's still no final announcement if these two are fighting for the IBF title as there will be announcement in the coming days The main event alone is a do or die Wilder hints on a retirement but could change his mind if he can knock out Zhang not an easy task but if he can connect those rights he had a chance.  |

Here in our country, if you hit the jackpot, you are given one year to claim your rewards. There is also a security feature on the back of the lotto ticket where you can write your name and sign it, so you are the only person who can claim the jackpot prize, and you have a year to claim it.
This is very bad, which country is that again? In my country, if you win your Lotto ticket today, you have the right to collect your money on that very day if time has not been far spent, or the very next day. At least, this is my experience with offline lottos, although they now have their presence online, but I do not think anything would change, and possibly, the online presence will make the whole process faster. All they need to do is credit your bank account and you are good to go. Lotto is not what they are still verifying like that, once the combination is correct, you are good to go, so why the delay? A year? That's bad. Its good that I caught your post my post is properly configured and all the members understand it, what I mean is you are given one year to claim your ticket, your ticket is valid for one year you and can claim your ticket the next day the reason why I create this discussion is I wonder why the winners takes a week or months to claim their winnings when they can do that the next day or a week
I read that some lottery winners take weeks or even months to claim their rewards, but what's the point?

If the bettor has bet something... be it money or some personal item, is the bettor obliged to pay? What does your jurisdiction say about this?
Of course if a bet is between two persons both should honor their bets it will lead to quarell or even a fight if one party will not or cannot honor his bet, when you bet you should show that you can pay the bettor Have you ever made a bet that led to an embarrassing situation or do you know someone who has? Yes like betting on a cock fight but I really don't have enough money I just received a tip that the other cock is weak and it's going to lose, I ended up making a promissory note its a very embarrassing situation and I never did it again What are the limits of a bet, can a bettor bet something that he is unable to pay? i.g: betting your own life or 10 years' salary? And also without gaining anything in return, since he only bet against and didn't bet anything if that bettor won...
Or as long as everything was done in a contract that such unusual types of bets would be worth? No you should not bet in an unusual kind of bet, bets should be realistic and both parties should know what the bets are all about and they can honor their bets, betting is never a joke if you're going to bet take it seriously it is different when you do it with friends and you all understand that its a friendly bet. |

Wow just watched the weigh-in live stream Caterrall was getting cheered while Taylor was booed by the audience Here is the result of the weigh in 139.8 for Caterrall and 139.6 for Taylor so we have a match this Sunday, on the face off Josh looks aggressive but there is minimal talk between the two they said the same thing all talks are over and they will go to work come fight night. I have a hard time figuring it out but even though Taylor's performance last two fights was not that good I'll still go for Josh I still believe that Taylor can resurrect his career, but I have no problem with Catterall winning I just want to see a good fight, which I'm sure both fighters will give for their fans. Josh Taylor Vs Jack Catterall 2 & Undercard Weigh In |

What if you keep it and will surprise your family after a month, but you have an accident and you get into a coma?
Or you let it know to your family, but you decide that you will claim it after a month but some members of the family spread the news will this put your family and yourself in jeopardy
Do you think it's a good idea to claim your winnings a day after hitting the jackpot or wait a few weeks?
How about you? When do you think is the right time to claim your winnings?
Its a crazy scenario about the coma but literally could happen to anyone and you have to prepare for everything these days! You can never be sure of anything or any outcome and literally anything can happen, so failing to plan would be planning to fail! If it is me I am calling into the lotto to tell them I plan to take the next flight into town and submit my ticket in person. I would hope that would help speed the payout process, but I guess i'll have to find out when I win the lotto of a future scratch off ticket i'll buy at a gas station or supermarket  Life is full of uncertainty, we never know what's going to happen the next day, I watched a documentary movie where the father saves money but keeps it secret from his family, and when he dies no one in the family knows about his savings but the widowed wife eventually found out the location because the late husband told the wife on her dreams. So it's better when you hit a jackpot you have to claim and stop dilly-dallying because the money you claimed is not yet yours better to have the money in your hands and just plan anything you want to do because when you have the money all your plan will materialize. |

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?
I don't agree that you should not take it as a hobby but I agree that you don't take gambling as a means to make a living, it's a big illusion if you think that you can make money from gambling because the uncertainty is very high but you will not encounter any issues like you've mentioned in your post if you take it as a hobby and as a hobby you allocate money for you gambling activity, The gambling platforms have done and keep doing their share of promoting their platform as a platform of entertainment, so it's up to the gambler how they discipline and how they set their mindset when playing in casinos. |

Yes match-fixing and fixing and not only in Football and these happen in big matches in boxing, basketball and almost every game, and even in horse racing, it happens because of connivance between each team and officials, because there is huge money to be made in game fixing.
Game fixing cannot happen if one team or officials will not cooperate because it will make it so obvious and evident that one team or officials will not cooperate, usually, it favors the weak team or player to make him the winner because of the odds of winnings, many bettors lose their bets and those who win are part of the syndicate.
The organizations usually have a monitoring team to monitor if any of the teams or officials engage in game and match-fixing still the attraction of the money is a big temptation to these perpetrators.

@everyone I did not post this article right away when I created this discussion and waited for members' opinions some opinions are somewhat similar to what this guy did back in 2010 It is understandable because the jackpot is very huge but will you go to the extent of doing a stake out in the lottery office and wait for three months to get the price, have you not think of the risks. Based on the article two winners did a stakeout already. https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2010/12/05/635982/grand-lotto-winner-faces-tough-security-check |

It's obvious that the boxers are not going to admit for such defeat, even Fury in his last fight against Usyk thinks he still won. But it's very different when the fans see that Taylor really lost the first fight and that's why they should have a immediate rematch that didn't happen until Taylor has no belt and it looks like he is way past his prime. I rewatch his fight against Pedraza when he captures the last belt for his unification and his first fight against Catterall and it's totally different version of Josh Taylor. And then after that he losses to Teo Lopez. So let's see if he can turn back the clock and dominate Jack here or Catterall shows us that he should be the winner of the first fight if he beat Taylor this time in a clear fashion.
This is what makes this fight interesting one former champion who will try to prove that he still has it and one guy who many think was robbed of becoming a champion. It's just unfortunate for Caterrall that in their rematch Taylor is not the champion anymore, but if he can beat Taylor then he could become an immediate challenger for Teofimo Lopez. Both fighters are desperate for a win and I don't think they will want to leave in the scorecard but if ever it goes the distance the judges better make the right decision, they cannot afford another controversial decision between these two fighters. On their press conference Jack is standing on his prediction that he will knock out Taylor in round 7 this is big words indeed so let's see. |

I just want to know, How have jackpot stories affected your gambling routine?
Have you ever increased the amount you normally used in betting just because someone you know won big by betting with a greater amount?
I used to do it until I realized it's like you are chasing losses, it's envy, and greed that made you do this, the same thing that you feel when you are chasing losses. Gambling is a game of luck, luck comes unexpectedly so one's luck could be your luck the next day and you don't have to change the way you bet because a guy you know hit a jackpot. It's like a guy you read in news media who won the lotto, it's no use doubling or tripling your bet will increase your chance just because the guy who won the lotto had a lot of tickets, even a guy who bought one ticket had a chance to win. |

Internet is full of reassuring stories on big gambling wins like ten/hundred -thousand-dollar, or even more, while in most cases the gamblers are losing because they are either not the experts in on gambling they try or have not relevant skills and make foolhardy bets.
I'm sure everyone here involved into gambling has made such reckless bet at least once in life. Not only once but many times because of loss of control, reckless bet is something that will always come out because of too many temptations some of which are the odds and the rewards. Did such bet/s change your gambling styles? Yes I have to change my style or I will continue to lose a lot of money, you have to always be on your limit if you don't want to depress yourself Have you become to be more eager in gambling or , on the contrary it has put a chill on you? It's going to pull a chill in you if you happen to lose money that is meant for paying bills or losing your savings that you saved for years only to lose for an hour of playing. Gambling is a big trap for those who cannot control their bankroll and their time, allocation is the key, allocate time and money that you can afford to lose. |
