It doesnt have to determined by gender exactly more likely the population and size of the games.  A larger more mainstream game is far less volatile a result then the smaller type games, regardless of which league it might be.  Some people might go for the more changable outlier type games but the majority of bettors will stick to the mainstream big games.

I think in some cases people should only gamble for tokens, just play the game for a prize like the ticket sales they do in arcades sometimes.  After you win you go up and pick a prize, that might be the better choice then the money management required for big gambling so as to avoid confusion on just adding more money in order to chase the win.
  If the money isnt spare and ready to be all used up it shouldn't be gambled, spending the money to enter a game and win a prize big or small makes it clearer the money is spent; less upset.
1083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: October 09, 2023, 05:52:43 PM
The proper term to consider would be the Biden administration not the singular man though it might all hinge on him.   I think he does have impairment by age but this isnt shocking news, USA has elected a president who had a terminal medical condition yet they wanted the man to sit as President anyway because his positives were greater then any impairment he was suffering.
  I would only judge Biden in the same way, for sure he has more challenges at his age then a man 20 years younger.  This is part of life, you wont always be 20 and with perfect health but also its true plenty of 20 year olds act like idiots waste their talent and good health and have awful judgements, arent reliable, etc.  People are obviously not (re)electing Biden because he is perfect just in preference to others and their decision process etc.
  On next election I dont think Biden loses from this health factor, many voters are also old and accept the conditions of his office.  If he fails in some way like poor management then that'll count more.   Imo so far I will guess Biden remains favorite to retain office.

If we're being honest Biden's own Democratic party wanted Hilary to run and win this office not him, I bet they were thinking of age.   Biden only got vice president as an immediate counter to Obama who barely had any experience in top office, Biden was quite vital but to the Democratic party this his was use and it was gone after Obama left.
    To treat Biden as one and done kind of used up was a kind of betrayal imo to not let the man run, in the end Biden was correct and Hilary was not popular enough; it was a bad step by the party to back these doubts as the most important consideration by which to exclude Biden.  I think in a parallel universe of Biden not Hilary in 2016, Biden wins that.

I have other accounts with gambling, casino and all that with also a faucet, I wouldnt state this is a unique situation exactly.  However FBC is one of the most established long term and as far as I can remember the only site where its not so defined by loyalty faucet but purely just turn up every hour and you can collect something.
   In addition there is a loyalty bonus element but probably its the backbone of every hour no matter what a free roll is given thats been a long term thing.  Thats more of a true faucet setup then most, we did used to have alot more faucets on an hourly basis like this but most of them did not last long term.
  I think last year it was I found another faucet site and it was advertised and discussed on this forum however he needed to add in so many adverts and capchta checks it was a terrible hassle for the little bit given.   I did use it for a while but obviously in the end I barely have any chance to ever utilise the faucet amounts and it'll sit on the site forever even if it did last long term its mired in hassle and forms to fill to check you arent a bot.  The most trouble I get on this site is a quick fashion week dress length appraisal or something funny, I think it was find the stairs recently.   Almost entertainment picture variety tbh Cheesy
1085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Popular Themes for Online Slot on: October 09, 2023, 06:29:42 AM
I actually own a set of Wild west playing cards, with each card comes the stats of their  'career' to the Gunfighter and then the story of their life on the back and so on.  Great set of cards and worth collecting imo, anyhow one of the best slots would be set around a similar theme as that with the wild gunfighters etc.   Thats my fav type, the Egypt theme is great and maybe ancient Greek also is very cool designs usually.
1086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I can’t cope on my own. What do you think I should do? on: October 09, 2023, 02:22:28 AM
Try to formulate your own bets and stop making it all about money.   Play to get a good record of betting on games, often doing well with sports betting is knowing when to balance or cash out early on a game with excess risk.  Some games you bet early, some I would only bet live during the game because of uncertainties.  Basically you need to build up your own experience & alot of it I would equate to emotional management of win vs loss with sound judgement it is a skill imo, so I dont see the tips service is more then a crutch.  
  I have used a group like this myself but only for one month and mostly because I knew the person running it and wanted to support them either way.   My experience was ok, in fact to fully use this group I would need to have the phone sitting in front of me 8 hours a day to jump up and immediately place before the odds changed.  I got sent so many messages it filled up the memory, my phone was sorely lacking as was my own level of commitment to be involved all day.  Super intense and its work basically, alot of people its not suitable for, even the good groups.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 08, 2023, 11:50:58 PM
People post about everything, if you get enough views then the bet is refunded by your channel getting revenue I guess.  Thats why a online streamer or personality can up doing so many silly throwaway things, especially Tik Tok is famous for this because if they get the views the loss is of no consequence.
   She is crying alot and reactions get view so the meta fits on that platform but as alot of people said this is awful gambling strategy play, some people are this emotional and I would always just stress stick to spending money you would consider 'spent'  dont count the wins as anything but a nice surprise, a bonus icing on the cake  Grin.   Win a game result for your team, now you got the beer money great.    Gambling is a game, a leisure pursuit its dangerous to say you make money while risking it & most of us can acknowledge this.
1088  Economy / Speculation / Re: From small beginnings great things can come on: October 08, 2023, 11:29:57 PM
Mass appeal yes and its true alot of the world now know of this product in their potential selection.  If we want to say adoption then then this is not something dropped and unused, it would be more constant then that.  At present people use then stop using BTC which isnt what I'd argue as adoption so much.   We probably need for people to get interest or some reason to hold onto BTC to a greater extent then they do already.
  My take on BTC progressing would be it occurs to a small extent by accident, there is the pocket lint argument where whatever you use you always retain a little bit by accident.  So far thats more like whats happened (in mainstream not talking other more digital based people) but its still a positive despite being a very dismissive description, I do think by accident people will increasingly use & retain BTC then reuse but its far slower then this mass adoption dream scenario sadly.   Still a long way to go yet.
1089  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hal Finney: each coin a value of about $10 million prophecy on: October 08, 2023, 02:05:53 PM
Its impossible to know the absolute future outcome but his reasoning based off good value odds was something I can recognize as valid.   You can always be wrong in some way but dont ignore a reasonable risk to value payoff scenario.
   In Jan 2009 almost everyone had their attention on the financial crisis at that time, this was definitely a sector below the radar for all sorts of reasons.

  Even with Dollar now though very dominant it does not describe all money.  Its only that the global reserve system references dollar that its so important.  After WW2 over half of world trade was USA based apparently, hence justifying a strong bias then but its not close to true now we have seen alot of development despite setbacks sometimes large the world is far more diverse now.  If anything its a fault that dollar is this biased when the world trade is not, its probably misaligned and causing problems.  I dont especially look to any replacement to copy that bias and mistake, so BTC being all money is not the scenario I look out for; theres lots of growth left anyway.

Twitter (now called X).

Every time I see this I think its a mistake, their corporate value is partly contained inside that brand name.  Literally they created a new verb, their brand name became part of the English language and yet its discarded as though worthless.
  Why could they not have X and Twitter and use both at same time, I see no problem with that.  Really a move disliked by the majority of people imo and quite pointless.

advertisers are coming back

I would imagine that is true.  Doesnt have to be that this website is run perfectly for companies to want their adverts to appear on the site and its traffic of quite mainstream people, various demographics etc.   Advertising is a global marketplace, before Bitcoin came to be it was said advertising is the lifeblood of the internet because it provided revenue to sites that would have none otherwise and created content and the paid the people for it basically.  Its quite true, its a positive and also an ongoing demand companies want to pay twitter or X because it has the traffic, simple as that nobody has to conclude they like Elon Musk but I see adverts on all kinds of iffy websites and X is no worse then them.

If you can type faster then 50 wpm and I know people well over 100 wpm then you need to register your hands as weapons, you might be posting past the speed limit and people don't appreciate.   I'm definitely on your side philipma1957 as I could do 50wpm before I was 10, it was required for early computer use, coding so I self learnt.
   Now I have to be aware not everyone can type that fast and it could be seen as a negative, I definitely try to go back and check I wrote in a readable way hopefully but the onus is on the writer pretty much.   I have 17k posts elsewhere believe it or not so I actually post far less then I could most of the time, I got sympathy for anyone who can type very fast anyhow Smiley


I also noticed some terms in a sig campaign, the moderator or operator of that campaign Royce was offering  a bounty on AI posts. :

1092  Other / Meta / Re: TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk on: October 07, 2023, 06:58:22 PM
There are sites which will reduce image size for you, try a change in format as some are bulky.   Even Mspaint might help in this regard but I have another forum that requires 20kb max and I often made this mistake as you cant be sure till its online.   Imgur will reduce sizes sometimes not sure where they limit.

Copy and paste can accidentally increase the image size back as its then raw data ?   might be part of why.

The other factor is actual display of the size as data itself, some displays are inaccurate and use a flat 1000 instead of actual binary to the power of 2.
1093  Economy / Gambling / Re: Halvening 2024, dont short/sell a dull market on: October 07, 2023, 06:36:55 PM
Seems fair to hold though nothing is ever certain its your decision, in comparison to my past experience just as a rough guess I would place 2023 BTC as similar kind of feel and pattern placement to the 2016 type action and I sold some BTC in 2016 and regretted it.   We had a rise and pullback and that might have been all there was just concerning yourself with near or even medium term.   It wasnt till early 2017 I figured on more occurring, a lesson I have tried not to forget since has been the lowest prices were the bedrock of that years later rise.
  I dont know we are to have 2017 type rise next year, that expectation might be a bit much but our current drift and often sideways action is quite familiar and I refuse to look on it as negative in either a major or minor extent.

On the 1% comment I agree, very rare to be that lucky but never say never.   I got the top tier BTC spin reward yesterday so wont complain.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Before you take sides on: October 07, 2023, 05:53:06 AM
Should also look to do the opposite, its a common phenomena on the internet that people are very vocal about any negatives but fail or forget to praise the common positive experience with any casino.  Especially long term, people take it for granted when a site is solid and reliable etc.  which is definitely worth praise. 
  The good sites will make a profit off just operating a long term gambling site, gambling is a profitable enterprise so a good reputation is important and regular traffic because that definitely leads to profits with that body of regular users.   It should be outside the norm for players not to be respected who are wanting to play normally.
1095  Economy / Economics / Re: What US can do with its dept? Genuine question. on: October 06, 2023, 11:55:54 PM
There is a solution but its boring and requires a budget surplus, hard work to repay debt and how will you win an election without giving away tax breaks and other things in the run up the vote.  Its just not going to happen unfortunately, what will occur is loose money and repayment via inflationary loses to the capital value of the debt.  Thats really more damaging because inflation causes harm to the economic prospects of especially small business and business people.
   I have a few dramatic ideas but again would not be popular, its feasible for USA to use only natural gas for its energy.   The main challenge with natural gas is its a much more bulky energy then oil or coal.   If they use natural gas, the oil can be exported creating the value to repay the debt with a surplus trade balance and also revenue just run to service the debt repayment.   Theres enough gas in the ground to provide all USA energy usage for over half a century, excluding anything like hydro and other new forms of power.
  Current oil policy has been to use up the strategic reserves so I think we're going in the wrong direction as far as being rid of the control oil has on an economy and its costs etc.
   
1096  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Up Move Incoming on: October 06, 2023, 11:32:35 PM
The flag formation from that chart could be taken as bullish.   However its safer to wait for the break and the move up from that flag, not every pattern completes as per the handbook the world just isnt nice and neat like that.    We are in a little box and we can take the negative or positive from leaving either side of that box as a indicator of wider picture:


The 50 day average did just turn positive in the last few days, a nice match to the hopes and dreams in this pattern.  I do think actual action tends to be messy, a bit muddy but I agree after a downtrend we are due some bigger rise.  I dont yet think its the greater move many are waiting for.
1097  Economy / Economics / Re: Food security in the world has been shaken by Russia's actions on: October 06, 2023, 04:52:36 PM
Putins war reminds me of Sadams invasion of Kuwait for a seemingly easy victory and also the Iran Iraq war which filled the sea with mines also making it dangerous for all.  Russian supplied weapons and supported militia have already shot down a neutral passenger plane and similar failures have occurred in the middle east because of the ongoing tensions and violence causing the deaths of those without link to that fight.  
  There is no gain for either side in each battle only an exchange of losses with the chaos of death for anyone nearby also.  Russia I believe will be careful with the African nations not to upset those possible allies and upset the whole world with an aimless war thats already lost Russia much on every front.
  EU markets are impacted by the lack of transport by water meaning grain is far in excess supply by land to any nearby nation.  As Ukraine is wanting to join EU Im sure they will try to avoid upsetting that market but its also a natural effect of an inability to supply their normal global markets.  Many other negative effects as well as that, trucks cannot replace the massive cargo ships anyhow.

My take earlier in this year for BTC in general was we had at least a year plus to develop.  So I relate that to the rough term or lock for FUN I should hold here and I went with a majority maxing out the interest return.   The price is more of a reinvestment type level then taking profits on gains also, so dont matter if it comes out of lock for now.  I wouldnt sell at this level, I dont think its a full price.

random time each day
That part in the FAQ would also be my guess for why the interest is variable is sometimes slightly backwards, despite there being a compound accumulative type effect that should only see higher returns.   A random time each day would mean unequal days though its going to average out, I can see why they'd not want to encourage exact timing.
1099  Economy / Economics / Re: Fed on brink of fifth(?) round of quantitative easing on: October 06, 2023, 12:36:57 AM
The ironic thing is migrants might easily be more of a benefit then cost to an economy providing they are able to work and provide a supply of labor to successful business.  China now has a falling working population which has lost them an advantage they had previously.  Its messy perhaps because it should be known and trained labor entering am economy should be done properly but its not new.

   The debt will be exponential because the worth of each dollar is becoming less.  Also alot of the money spent is not as effective in moving the economy as last time it was spent, the danger it ends up doing nothing at all and mostly over taxes business.   Inflation is a tax is a succinct fair statement imo
1100  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what are we expecting for the rest of 2023? on: October 05, 2023, 11:58:45 PM
Slow progress is my take for the rest of this year.   I could not call this negative action overall but we are taking steps backwards often, I still believe its a gain overall mostly as we recover and consolidate.   When we first progressed through these prices, they were all new and with no volume well thats not true anymore.  Many remember these prices and its well trodden now, there are for certain sellers those long term and many willing to sell now after fairly brief gains.
  Its harder going now, so call it sideways but we are rising within that challenged heavy load overhead of BTC and its quite impressive the Dollar index recovered but BTC can carry on anyway it doesnt need to sell.
  A simple observation to include would be both the 200 day average and also the much larger 200 week are both here with us right now.  Thats not a hard wall but it shows how much weight is with BTC trading in this area, hence slow and steady is a required gear to make it up this hill.
