1141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are bounty programs or airdrops more profitable to participate in? on: July 18, 2022, 08:18:05 PM
Of course, the current condition of Bounties and Airdrops is not good because the market trend is red, this is what makes us have to be selective to choose bounties because most bounties do not pay and make many top managers leave bounties.
Red or green market, it is always advised to do a research and to be very picky when it comes to joining a bounty because scams don't choose a time/condition. For the airdrops, I think it's okay if you can just randomly join any because they are not that hard to complete and you won't feel bad if ever you won't get paid. Market might be red but there are bounties which pays with stable coins.

If you prefer non stable coins, you must accept that the price of the coin can dump but like what you are doing with btc and other top cryptos, you can also prefer to hodl your bounty rewards for a while till the bull run returns. See if its value would also improve.
1142  Economy / Speculation / Re: Anyone bought Bitcoin/altcoins already? on: July 18, 2022, 07:43:40 PM
people is found of discussing what they don't know and they will claim to be serious i don't believe some of this their predictions because of  fallacy that full of wrong crypto prediction. The price and the prediction of cryptocurrency should straightly go through the observation of chart.but people just fabricate information that is not useful, and not knowing that here is like another way of understanding the what bitcoin is saying for it future and after discussion you can tell other people from offline how important and value is Bitcoin price which is going to be part of us when we are out from the forum for some minutes
It's not wrong to give out predictions but the one we have here seems kinda crazy. How can he move the price on a much higher level on its own? He doesn't seem like a big whale to me but even the whale themselves will still have a hard time to bring the price on their specified target.

I also see that he was offering some kind of a prediction service but no one will believe on him now, now that he looks like a joker. He just waste his opportunity if his plan is to make money. To the question if we have bought btc/alts already? Yes we did but many of us did not fully use our funds yet because we think that the recovery is still crucial.

Instead of just linking a video it is better to state or at least tell us a little what the video is about.
He clearly said that the video says it all. It doesn't take much time to click the link and don't worry the video is under a minute only but on the video it shows that teams playing are not serious enough. I really don't know though because there is no any other description from the uploader but we can search its title on the web. Let see if we can find more information in regards to this game. Its title is > " Nigeria Ogun State FA Cup final between Remo Stars and Ijebu United". 

It looks like you are talking about match manipulation and match fixing.
I don't think it's a kind of manipulation or match fixing because what they are showing there is totally obvious. What happens there doesn't damage sports or gambling as a whole but the act was so embarrassing for their country and also to that teams involved but those teams won't care anyway because maybe they are being paid big to do that.
1144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are governance tokens (UNI, COMP) a good long-term investment? on: July 17, 2022, 09:33:07 PM
I've seen some governance tokens going all the way towards the "triple digits" within their initial days since launch. It's impressive how tokens like MKR and COMP reached such high prices within such a short amount of time. Uniswap's "UNI" token performed well in the past, but prices are relatively stagnant these days due to the platform's high ETH gas fees and poor performance. The current bear market made things worse, plunging major crypto asset's prices at a very fast pace. Given that governance tokens allow "hodlers" to make key decisions on decentralized trading platforms, it's possible demand will soar in the future.

Do you think governance tokens (UNI, COMP, MKR) are a good long-term investment?
The bear market makes the price of most cryptos go down but at the same time it has some benefits because the transaction fees have also declined by some folds. Isn't that a good thing? Especially for the platforms like uniswap where the fees are used to be high.

Now we can now be able to use this platform mostly for buying our favorite erc20 based cryptos and maybe it is time for us now to dispose our shit cryptos and still earn something if we are lucky. Yes op I do think they are a good asset in addition to our portfolio. I will surely buy more of these three coins featured on this thread if I have the money. I just hope tho that bear can last a little longer hehe.
1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Threshold of Loss in Gambling on: July 17, 2022, 09:06:02 PM
Of course, but sometimes I go aggressive and stay undisciplined because I like to chase my losses and the worst thing happened. Therefore, it's very important that we stay disciplined while gambling because the risk is high and the worst-case scenario is we might end up homeless because we become addicted to gambling.
In my initial gambling days, i never accepted my loses and always try to recover them by chasing my loses.  In these loss recovery chases, i used to lose a lot of money. The reason is that when you are chasing your loss, you are not playing normally, you are in control by your emotions and you can never win in gambling if you are not clam.
Later, i stop doing this and as soon as i lose money, i quit gambling and take the rest. We have to accept that we cannot win all games in gambling and losing is a part of  gambling.
That's odd. Basically when we are at the initial stage we will not think about the profit first but what truly amazes us is the fact that gambling is an enjoyable thing to do. This mindset can only change in the middle and on the later stages of our gambling journey. That's when we are now aiming for a certain profit whenever we enter the gambling field. Being calm when playing is good but still, it doesn't change your luck.

If you're destined to be unlucky that time then you can always lose, no matter what. Realizing the fact that not all times we can win makes me feel sad or annoyed but I have no choice but to accept it and I just gamble with small amount instead.
1146  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can trading be likened to gambling and how so? on: July 17, 2022, 08:53:30 PM
Gambling can be likened to trading in one way, and it cannot be likened from another, gambling depends entirely on luck, while trading depends on luck sometimes only. The direction of prices, but sometimes a sudden event happens that changes all these factors in a completely different direction, in this case it can be similar to gambling.
Some people trade in a way that is just like gambling, they buy a coin randomly without any study or analysis and wait for a stroke of luck maybe the coin will rise, this is very similar to gambling.
It was the casino games are the ones that entirely depend on luck but if it was sports betting, you have a team or a player that you can analyze if what are their skills. From there you can make a prediction if who among them will perform better during the match.

If they will just trade like they are gambling then why can't they play gambling instead? They can gain certain benefits through it like cash back and any loss or win can contribute something to level up their account which they can then get a reward and most importantly is they will get entertained but if they want to earn a profit then trading should be the way and they must take it seriously.
1147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 17, 2022, 06:18:45 PM
I believe that match fixing happen all the time, there are multiple things someone can fix and not just winning or losing the match, and those allegations and people getting exposed is just who were bad enough to get caught, I think there are too many that successfully fixed with no proof behind.
This is true not only for tennis but also for all other professional sports on which many people bet.
When big money is at stake, of course there are plenty of opportunities for collusion and fraud.
Tennis is a sport in which realistically only the first 40-50 players on the ranking list can live richly, the next 100-200 players survives and the rest not even that.
Tennis is also a very expensive sport, and of course many lower-ranked tennis players without sponsors cannot afford expensive trips and participation in better-paid tournaments.
If you can't make big money in lower paying tournaments and the costs are high, what's left for you? For some tennis players, the answer is obvious, to try to make money in other, illegal ways and at least somehow monetize their tennis career.
I agree with your point but still I am feeling if players from top 50 are involved in match fixing then still it's not going to have any serious impact on this game because they are already having exit door in early rounds so mostly in game like tennis is having no serious trouble with this match fixing because if you are having top 50 players could be rich then surely they deserve because they are having some good hard work for this position, and they will never do things like this.

With this all we recently have too many big names in different sports are enjoying gambling and betting, but they are not doing any fixing or related to this which is also having no impact on this game with this all I am feeling it's just having very low ratio for match fixing in this Tennis.
1148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Popular Themes for Online Slot on: July 17, 2022, 09:11:58 AM
I believe that there are more themed slot games online than in land based casinos. Usually on land based casinos you only see fruits themed slot games. I don't really care if what is that themed the slot I am trying to play but as long as the payout potential is huge, I will play it but for someone that plays for fun, I think they are the ones that will care more in the theme, more than any other things.

The best part, some people use specific theme as their lucky ones. Already gambling depends much on luck. Once again these themes help users to be more lucky.
Really? That's interesting. I think these people doesn't differ to those people who have a superstitious belief, i.e those people who wears a specific color of shirt before they gamble because they think that will give them a luck to win but I think that was not true. No matter how much you try but if you are unlucky, you will still not win.

Personally I will only search the project's reputation on this forum alone, TrustPilot isn't really known as a reliable source of information.

Although they are trying to remove fake reviews, I believe they have the wrong approach, because it is impossible to determine what is actually fake and what is not. A casino or some other service can easily organize a campaign and pay for a flood of fake positive reviews. In the same way, anyone can organize a coordinated smear campaign and there is no effective way to stop them.
Exactly, Truspilot is moderated and they usually manipulate the vote in favor of there clients. Bitcointalk is perfect as reference to background check the casino because of its decentralized feature and trust system. The flag system too works perfectly on fighting scam casino because the thread will show red flag warning if ever the OP of the casino thread has a flagged for running scam casino.
I have seen too many proof of the fact that trustpilot also gets paid by places to look better as well. Which means that the bots that tell negative things about casinos could be managed by them, how? Well, there will be a lot of negative reviews of a place, then trustpilot will reach out to you, say that if you pay them a certain sum, then they could have their "anti-spam" bot working for you as well, basically what they are saying is "if you pay us, we will delete negative reviews" but do not say it directly like that.

This is why I believe that we shouldn't be shocked about this place having a lot of fake reviews, it means there isn't a payment made to trustpilot by gamdom and nothing more.

It's good to see Zimbabwe back in icc tournaments, back in 90s and early 2000 they were part of every icc major tournament but now they are rarely seen. ICC has made a positive move this time by including 16 nations in the tournament, now it can be said a worldcup.
The most awaited T20 World Cup is going to start on Oct 16, 2022 in Australia. Where 16 teams are participating. Sri Lanka vs Namibia match will be held as 1st match in Simonds Stadium, Geelong. It will run from October 16 to November 13. Over all in t20 world cup there will be 45 T20s. Hopefully it will be better than last T20 worlds cup.
Definitely a good decision from ICC to have 16 teams for this t20 world cup because this will give some good experience to all teams with associates will also try to give better results in this format which is now key for future of this game and having some quality players in franchise leagues as well because now future is just in these leagues which are going to bring some good revenue and countries in better position.

Australia always having amazing hospitality because they have one of the best infrastructure for sports in the world. Zimbabwe is having back in this format but still not good hopes for better results from them because they are falling behind in system and their mostly good players are leaving country due to corruption first need to settle things like this for better results.

I used to follow global political during 90s and 2k till the news channels became a circus, so i am sure you will get the information regarding Kenyan politics around that period online. There was match fixing allegations against their key players during 2004 and there was a dispute between the players and the Kenyan Cricket board and the government even dissolved the board during that time if you are not aware of that. Corruption was the main reason and to expect ICC to keep on funding them is ridiculous.
Well... this is new information for me. But even then, I have a few questions. If corruption was the main reason, then why it is not applicable for Zimbabwe? It is estimated that out of the $12,000,000 they receive from the ICC every year, close to 90% is stolen by the corrupt officials. Kenya's funding amounted to around $400,000 in 2004 and now it amounts to $100,000 per year. If both the boards are corrupt, then what is the reason for such big disparity in funding? I don't see any logic in showering Zimbabwe with tens of millions every year, while providing emerging teams such as Uganda or Namibia with less than 1% of that amount.
Few things are happening miserably by ICC and no one can understand what is logic behind this all but still we are talking about this all and trying to understand this all politics which is happening here just for money but still not good for game.

ICC never been a good sports authority we all know, but they are financially very strong which is positive point for them, but they have not fair and good way to spend money for emerging countries which is not good even they can do this all like FIFA is doing around the world and have no issues even they are not allowing Governments to interfere in their way which is good thing, so they also need to be powerful and brave in their decisions which can help this game.

New Zealand  VS Ireland
Ireland are on the brink of victory. Just a few more runs needed and if they can do that then they have nothing to lose here. Ireland have lost two ODIs in a row. Now they need 25 runs off 18 balls. This is a really enjoyable match. Let's see what happens here. Win against New Zealand would naturally be considered a big achievement for Ireland.
For me, this was one of the most entertaining and thrilling series in recent times, and I am feeling great for Ireland how they have done this all even lost all matches and series by margin of 3 - 0 but still this was amazing fight from them in all three matches. In today match this is a new record for losing purpose with two centuries and having the highest partnership but still lost match.

While Paul Stirling and Harry Tector on crease I was sure today they will break record and will give first win to their country in this series but still fail just by one run but still a good win for these both and their country. New Zealand won the first match by 1 wicket with 1 ball remaining. Second match won by 3 wickets and third won by 1 run, amazing result.
1153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: July 15, 2022, 06:41:25 PM
Why blame ICC for the debacle in Kenya, are you aware of the political situation during that period, corruption and political changes were happening during that period in Kenya and the political situation were not that great and till 2008, that situation continued affecting everything. So to blame ICC for the political instability which will directly affect all sports is unwarranted  Cheesy. Not sure when Uganda played any significant games at the highest level but Kenya had some good players in the past.
Sometimes I really feel bad for Kenya as they were at top of the game and reach in semifinal of World Cup this was amazing achievement from them, and they have very youngsters those can bring this game in different shape for Kenya but sadly suddenly by the virtue of ICC they lost this all and now having nothing good in this game even out of frame which is the worst. B-4 completely ruin the game in this country with now they are 31st rank in t20, and they are not near in ODI which is surely the worst happened.

They need good help from ICC, but they fail completely with their main cricket ground was also gifted by Sir Agha Khan as he was using this as horse form, just imagine what the hell is going.

Ake and Koulibaly are officially at Stamford Bridge now and it looks like the rumors about Kimpembe and Kounde will end with these two defenders.
Yes, Chelsea doesn't need more center-backs now since they already signed Ake and Koulibaly. They should end the negotiation to sign both Kimpembe and Kounde. These center-backs are expensive, Chelsea mustn't want to waste money because they are not urgent to buy more center-backs. I believe Chelsea management focuses on looking for a new CF. They need at least 1 top CF after Lukaku left the club. Lately, there is a rumor that they are trying to sign CR7 or Lewandowski.
Chelsea's management are doing amazing job for the next season because with these Center-backs now squad is having good strength and this was serious issue for them in last season now their last target is also under talk with most chances they will have this as well most chances they will go with Ronaldo because Robert Lewandowski is having desire for Barcelona so most chances he will not join Chelsea but if these both have no good intention then surely Chelsea is also having another option which is also not bad at all Neymar which is also under some issues in PSG current team even new coach already announces about him but still management is looking for some good offer which can end his career here at PSG.
1155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: July 14, 2022, 09:09:54 PM
My bet as I said will be for Argentina as they have now the best 11 that they have ever had since the time of glorious days with Maradona winning them their last World Cup if I remember correctly.They have Messi which may play his last World Cup,they have Di Maria,Dybala and Martinez to name just a very few of the hottest players at the moment enjoying a great form in their local leagues throughout Europe.There are many other good players which complement the team and as I said this is the reason that I am betting on them,because they have the best 11 from quite a long time,better from quite a long number of years.
I will be making a bet in favor of Argentina, partly because they are one of my favorite teams and partly because they are sending a very strong squad to Qatar later this year. For the finals, a match between Brazil and Argentina is having the highest probability IMO. And I would like Argentina to beat Brazil in the final. They are waiting ever since 1986 for the trophy and this maybe Messi's last attempt. And the last time when world cup was held in Asia (2002), it proved to be lucky for the South American teams. Let's hope for a repeat this time as well.
Yeah, surely this was one of the best World cup and last time team from South America won world cup because after this we have European dominant in World Cup events which is still going but now in 2022 most chances it's Brazil which is going to win again even most of the peoples feeling Argentina because they are having sympathy with Messi as he is going to play his last world cup and want to do something good for his country but most chances he is going to retire without this destination because they are good but not enough to win this event.

I am going with Brazil and having opponent in final is France of Germany because these two are also good teams which can do good and can go through into final.
1156  Economy / Economics / Re: The Growth of Bitcoin ATMs by Country on: July 14, 2022, 03:44:41 PM
There's no right answer in this one because nothing is ever certain. We don't know if the global recession would ever happen and if it will really occur, the impact will vary from one place to another. So, saying the number of bitcoin ATM will increase or decrease will be futile because there's also nothing to back up such claims. Increase of usage of bitcoin ATMs could possess various reasons. Perhaps the fees might be a little lower compared to exchangers in some areas or maybe it is convenient for them. While there is a reason for people to use it, they definitely will. Although here in our country, I hardly hear there is one nor ever seen one on my own eyes. Lucky for those areas that have numerous bitcoin ATMs to cater them because it's a great alternative if you don't want or there's no available exchanger.
Better if they will lower the fee so that it allows people to try this and they will keep on coming back on using a service like this. This is very convenient because they can trade their btc for cash if stores on their country doesn't accept btc yet or they can also buy btc directly on that machine by using their own cash. On what country do you live?

If you are sure that btc is already legal on there then there might be places where btc is installed. Usually they are located in the bigger cities or on those crowded areas. Try googling it and see if you can spot some. A btc atm can increase because btc is getting popular but it can also decrease for some reasons like for example a country suddenly bans btc.

Surprised that you have mentioned Argentina. I have checked their recent record, and honestly, I couldn't find any consistency. One good thing with Argentina is that whatever issues they had with team bonding seems to have got resolved. There was always an argument that Lionel Messi performs better with Barcelona (and now with Paris Saint-Germain), when compared to the Argentine national team. With Brazil, I have never heard about any such issues. Their team bonding seems to be perfect.
I still think that Argentina has a lot of problems and that those problems are getting slowly resolved. On next world cup i dont thimk they can give their 100%. They have an amazing attack but they suck at defence and i think the entire team just wont go well togheter
Argentina is surely having few problems, but recently they are working on them and most of the issues are resolved, even still looking for more things which can give them better results Lionel Messi factor is also always in talk why he mostly fails in national duty and having much better results in leagues still need something about this.

With no other team is having any argument like this in their ranks but in coming world cup we will watch some better game from them as they are also looking for good ending of their legendary player from international soccer but no one sure can they give shock to world with title.
1158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 13, 2022, 06:08:19 PM
Barcelona are still in the pursuit for more players as they continue to struggle with financial issues.They have seen most of the players they wanted to sign turn them down because of the financial crisis at the club at the moment,therefore,they have decided to sell some of the players to make funds available so as to be able to get the type of players they want.A player in the calibre of Lewandowski and Raphinha. It is yet to be seen whether they will be able to afford them or not.
Honestly, I personally am a little unsure now with Barcelona will be able to get the signatures of players like Lewandowski and Rafinha. I'm saying this for obvious reasons and I think everyone knows that it's their finances that makes it hard for them to strike a deal. If that wasn't the case, I'm sure they'd have settled the rumors we've been hearing for a long time.
Some time back I was also unsure about Barcelona how they will manage this all, but recently I read they already sell their next season media rights for nearly 700 Million which is big news for their supporters because in this case surely they can manage few things in positive way with this now just read they are successfully complete their next signing of Raphina which is also having some positive impact for them in next season, and now they are working on Lewandowski transfer because this is also a big deal for them and their next season if FC Bayern Munich give them positive reply then surely they are going to be on their target for next season and most chances they will do impressive performance with their required players will be in their squad.
1159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 13, 2022, 03:04:42 PM
If Di Maria is considered as a substitute for Dybala then I would say it is a worthy replacement. Dybala is talented, but Di Maria is more experienced. Also, Di maria's speed is very good, he can easily adapt to Serie A. Maybe Di Maria can play well with Vlahovic, Morata and Chiesa. If Juventus can perform consistently next season, they will have a good chance of winning the title.
Currently, both free signings going to have very impressive for Juventus because with this there are strong enough and if their systems works in solid way then surely they are going back on top because right now Di Maria and Vlahovic, Morata and Chiesa both combinations very strong Di Maria is experienced campaigner and can give good results.

Paul Pogba is also going to be good as he was not good enough in Premier League and Manchester United but surely can adopt this club and league which is going to have some good impact on his future. Few talking about age factor but still these both can play good as they are fit and having good speed which his helped by strong body of these quality players.

Everyone knows that they need to be disciplined in gambling and do not have to be emotional while doing gamble. However, once we start to gamble, we forget everything, and our only focus is limited to only earning quick money. Greediness makes us lose in gambling because it's the greed due to which gamblers will lose their money and never win anything substantial from gambling.
For those who think that there is something wrong with the way they play, yes they are the ones that needs to be checked by a psychiatrist if ever controlling the habit by themselves seems impossible but for those who are still normal, I think it's alright to become emotional as we are just a human, we are not robots which doesn't feel anything whatever the outcomes we get although in gambling we have those auto bet function and also those gambling bots, they might help us dealing with our emotions when gambling.

It's not greed that makes us lose in gambling but it was its difficulty which is set to the highest possible level tho it's still possible to win but we should stop because if we become greedy then these wins are going to turn into losses.
