Wrong. There is strategy in gambling and everyone can have their own if they are inclined to do so but the thing is, there are no strategies that actually gives guarantees as we don't really know what will be the exact outcome as we only have speculations about its likelihood and never the exact result. In the end, we really on luck and confidence alone as that two factors combined will increase your chances in winning.

Really depends on the situation if the game or fight is so tight then I may have to cast my bet during live and one more reason about that is there might be some sudden movement about the lines during live mainly if the suspected outcome is not that likely to happen.

But when I'm somehow confident about who will be the winner then that is the time to cast my bet much earlier as at that time, there could be some great odds especially if I'm rooting for the underdog(s) to upset the favorite(s). Other reason why I will have my bets in advance is if I have some scheduled errands later that day.

I'm inclined if that will indeed happen because the Knicks duo is going to need another player to keep their stats working and so that the team will achieve much further than what they had in the last run plus I don't know why the New York Knicks were really silent in the draft night.

Anyway, regarding about that speculation. I've read that Zach Lavine is not interested with it, so it's a no-no.

Zach LaVine camp would be against a Knicks trade: source

That's true and what we have are just mere speculations or rather estimations about when will be the next bitcoin halving will happen and that's just the given situation by the platform considering that there is indeed a block that will be mined in every 10 minutes. In simple words, nobody can fully guarantee that the given predictions will exactly happen at the given time frame.
Anyway, we shouldn't be bothered about this thing because what's more important is to try and accumulate as much bitcoin as possible before the halving will happen as we likely know already what will happen after that.

Certain situations will make the gambler go towards addiction even without them knowing because they don't equip themselves with a goal other than seeking money thru gambling. Everybody can do that as that is the main goal but what separates us from the addicts are our own ways like having the right mindset and setting the boundaries to keep us away from harm.

I bet that there are many people who will contradict to that because even if Inoue shows some edge over Casimero, that doesn't mean that Casimero got no chances at all. It will be a good fight for sure with no way of knowing who will win the fight, what we can do is to give a speculation and bet whoever we believe will win.

I definitely agree. Even a term like walk in the park in this fight is not that suitable as well because even if we say that Donaire still got a good edge against Santiago because of experience and other advantage, securing the fight via win is not guaranteed because the latter is also looking forward for the same thing and will surely not agree that he will be defeated without giving a good fight.

In terms of the live gate's tickets, there is no question at all that it will be sold out quickly just like what Garcia vs Davis fight did or pretty much faster than that because we have to include the fact that there will be some businessmen who are having some business in gaining these tickets as fast as possible so that they can sell it in a much higher price. But when it comes to PPV buys, I doubt that they can break a million of it because the world is getting modern each day and big fights like this are almost shown for free in some sources like Facebook live or even YouTube because they are seeking the viewers as well in-exchange for some voluntary amounts to watch the fight live.

Well, in most cases, like what is happening on the daily basis as long as there is no extraordinary winnings achieve by a single player, the casino is literally not paying anything out of their own pockets to pay for some gamblers who have won a decent amount because the house edge gives them an advantage already to get the players on the losing side, and the player's money on the losing side are the same money that they are using to pay for the gamblers in the winning side.

So yea, it's really a win-win situation for the casino and it's just like we're battling to get the money against other gamblers in the same platform when in-fact we are targeting the casino's money.

Good point and I think it makes the picture even clearer as to why the Warriors gambled just to get Chris Paul in the franchise, as of now, might be too much to ask for CP3 to maintain his health all year because we all know that he's already somewhat prone to injury and I think the Warriors are already looking for some ways to minimize that and one of those ways is to let CP3 play when he's highly needed. That said, I think he will come off the bench and not as a starting line-up.

If one refuse to accept new comments or ideas and just hate whenever corrected, then it’s a clear sign that he is not ready to learn, as learning requires an open minded individual so he can easily perceive every new idea that comes his way. That’s why aside from being hunger of new knowledge and good information, one should have the high interest and high determination to learn, and this could be perfectly done if you have the passion and patience to learn new things.

Even reputable exchanges cannot guarantee the safety of our coins, same with the big banks in our country. So the moment we let it out from our own hands, then we are not its owners anymore, but everything belongs to the centralized exchange or bank that we have trusted. As we’ve often said, not your keys, not your coins. So never put everything you have in a centralized exchange. They may be trusted for now but we never know in the future. Just use a centralized exchange if you are planning to trade, but you can never put your coins there for long term hodling. Have your own hardware wallet or non-custodial wallet wherein you are the only one holding your keys.

Trading needs a long term preparation before you start to risk yourself in it, and by investing on yourself first like gaining adequate knowledge and essential skills as a trader, you will increase your chances to be a successful trader in the making. However, luck is what we only need in gambling, no need to study and be expert when gambling, because as long as you have that luck you will be in profits, and once you have gone out of your luck, then prepare to set yourself into losses.

This is the reality. It’s useless to say that even if you have all the means to invest like knowledge and strategies but you don’t have sufficient amount of money to start your investment, I guess everything you have will just go into waste. It’s still a great advantage if you have instant money and then you have acquire knowledge and skills prior to investing because that will certainly work in the long run. However, if you can make use of your knowledge by participating signature campaigns to finance your investment, I think that would be an awesome idea too.

It’s really funny to see some newbies acting like they are highly knowledgeable as legends in the forum. And worst is they end up teaching their co-newbies who are both inexperienced and are less knowledgeable. I just hope that this will serve as an eye opener to them that they are not supposed to teach unless they have gained enough knowledge and experience whom they can share to the newbies in the future. Teaching is good but only for those who have the resources to make it realized.

Demo accounts are actually a big help for us especially for beginners who want to learn to trade without risking money. But know that live trading is a totally different scenario unlike when you are just a trading with a demo account. Your skills and strategies will be tested, as much as your emotions will matter a lot. And that’s the reality in live trading, at least you should be more exposed to it and let yourself experience losses that will eventually turn into future profits when you’re already a pro in it.

Receiving merits will certainly encourage us to improve even more our posting habits so we can achieve high quality posts. And that will only happen if we never stop from making DYOR and be more open to constructive criticisms as that will help us develop the best version of us. But my suggestion is you should not focus only on merit taking, there is a lot more that we can develop within the forum. Respect, camaraderie, and being open to accept new comments in the forum should always matter more than merit taking.

There is nothing wrong actually if we teach our kids about bitcoin so they will develop awareness on it at an earlier age. But maybe we can’t expect from them to learn easily and adopt bitcoin mindset just like we are doing. Kids will always be kids, and no matter how we are eager to teach them with new insights, they will always stick to what children’s happiness are. And discovering, exploring, and playing will certainly give them more fun than be serious and learn the most about bitcoin.

Can't really blame them because I know a lot of people who have been in the market for long now that still enjoys risking some of their funds by investing towards these meme coins especially that specific coin that has been gaining a lot of attention because of Elon Musk, you know what it is. Trust me, I tried to warn them and said some words that could discourage them but even that were wasted because they already knew their chances and risks, still, they are waiting for that hype train to arrive even if it will cost them money.

Certainly depends on the individual's problem because there are some of them that can still provide up to 3x or even 4x meal per day but don't have any extra funds to provide for their extra needs and there are some as well who are having some struggles to provide their family to at least eat 3x per day. For them, that's already poverty but sometimes, being poor will be an inspiration to get themselves a better situation and be comfortable in life.

It's just that most of their days are not that good or they are not that lucky to find some ways to get themselves comfortable for at least one day because there are other factors as well that hinders them to get up from slums.
