I start developing an interest in Boxing and UFC matches when I visited a relative, he is so into these types of sports and he seems to know a lot about it, by I have to keep myself from asking him what and what I should do to know more about such sports, I have this in mind to be able to make some bets or gamble on such sports, my problem is I don't know how, if anyone is into such sports where should I begin? Any special UFC or Boxing platform where I can read news and updates about such sports?
How do you bet on such games? What are the things to be on the lookout for? Because I believe this is different from football ⚽, I also don't have access to satellite dish like my relative does, this is how he is able to get the best out of these sports.
what information can you give someone like me?
It shouldn't be that tough, is it ? Any sport that you wish to get more info can be easily found on the internet. Just a few searches and you will get all the info that you want. If you want to find info on specific match then you can get that as well. There are also sites which predicts the outcomes based on their analysis. You can also visit this forum and keep reading threads on gambling discussion board to find info on various matches. There are other forums like reddit and messengers like discord where people keep discussing about these games. As for betting on these matches you can create account on sites like freebitco.in and BC.GAME to place your bets on these matches. If you want to watch these matches then are websites which can let you watch these matches as well, although not all of them would be free.

Basically I do not understand the reason for so much volatility in the market. Is this volatility a good sign of the market or a bad sign of the market?
LOL I can understand how that feels but its natural for you to feel that way since you are new and might be experiencing it recently. Bitcoin does have a huge volatility and what you are seeing now is very natural for bitcoin. It has happened in the past and will keep happening in the future as well and so you must get used to this high volatility of bitcoin.

I did some research on Bitcoin because I was interested in it, and I discovered that the key principles of Bitcoin are peer-to-peer, anonymity, pseudonymity, decentralization, and operating without a middleman to ensure that Bitcoiners can have financial freedom. However, despite knowing that Bitcoiners adhere to these tenets, why do some Bitcoiners act contrary to them? Why do they continue to support centralized exchanges, use them, and retain their Bitcoin there?
It's mostly because people have given more importance to the store of value and has completely ignored the main objectives of bitcoin. People use it as an asset for trading and investments and the only place where it can be easily feasible is a centralized exchange. This is the reason why many bitcoiners tend to encourage the use of centralized exchanges so that they can trade it and gain profits on it.

You won't find any direct way of doing that because of obvious reasons. You still have an option which involves some risk though. You can find someone to buy it for you. Find a person who accepts BTC payment and ask him to buy the iphone for you. You can very well use an escrow for it. But the catch is that there will be some commission involved for that person.

We missed the early stages, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a chance in the future.
You never know what happens in future. Acquiring 1 whole bitcoin sounds like a big deal today and you say you have around 0.2 BTC which is good. May be in future there will be people who would say I cannot acquire 0.1 BTC but that's okay. They will consider you among the wealthy ones for owning 0.2 BTC. So never consider yourself small and never think of a particular amount as a big deal because that will keep changing. Even now as we speak, I am sure there will be many people around who would consider you wealthy for owning the amount you have now.

There can be only two possible reasons. Either the company is doing good or it's doing bad.
If it's doing bad then may be it's the recession that has hit them as well and may be they are not performing really well. May be their users don't really have more money due to recession to gamble and so the gambling sites' profits would have declined.
If it's doing good then may be the site bonuses/rakeback cut down is temporary and they are planning to revive it again later as part of their strategy. Or may be they are trying to implement something different which is why they would have removed it.

Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money? if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money? You are betting something to happen and then expecting a reward for it then it's a gamble. Even if you are not actually putting up anything for the bet even then it would be gamble. Heard in a movie once where they said everything in this world is a gamble. Even our day job is a gamble where we put our hard work in place of a bet and expect our salary by the month end then it's a gamble.

Reading another post, it crossed my mind that AIs and particularly ChatGPT could potentially be trained with a large samples of games played by poker champions and then put it to auto-play with amateur on-line players. If this is successful, it could mean the end of human on-line poker playing except perhaps for the world masters and the like. Has anyone tried? Would it be possible??
ChatGPT is an AI language model and I think it would be less efficient for gambling related activities. Instead of that, there can be another AI bot that can be trained on datasets particularly used for gambling bets. It can include more sophisticated implementation of programs which generate better outcomes than the traditional ChatGPT. It CAN be possible but it would require time and repeated enhancements before it could be actually used in production.

What do you mean INR is acceptable in these countries? I am confused because I don't think any of these countries accept it in their country. Can you please help me with more references on this.
I have heard of this news and it added that now since INR is accepted in these countries, people will be able to use INR directly at airport lounges. Also, INR will be used to facilitate international trade and so this is a direct threat to USD and decrease it's dominance over the world. It's a good sign for India as it is stepping in the right direction. Do you think this advancement of INR threatens Bitcoin in India and in these countries?
What my point of view is that now since INR is accepted in these countries it will help us more since the volume and liquidity of INR/BTC might increase. There might be people who will start to use INR/BTC trading pairs on exchanges and other P2P sites since they will be able to use INR directly. Still not sure how will that workout but it's a sure possibility.

The good way is to use Tor, I understand that but I can see that some people use their internet service provider IP directly for their nodes. Assuming if someone uses IP address instead of using Tor, what information can be leaked to the internet service provider?
Can the internet service provider know my bitcoin addresses or the internet service provider will just know that I am using Bitcoin Core but not able to link it to my bitcoin addresses and transactions?
I am not talking about SPV wallets but only full node wallets.
As far as I know it's not the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that get to link your IP address to your node but the other bitcoin nodes on the network. Since you are connected to your peers on the bitcoin network they will be able to see your IP address as well as your location and then trace back to you. There are also risks of a targeted DoS attack to your node and so it's better to use Tor at first place.

The longer you bet, higher the chances are for you to lose. So try to keep your gambling sessions small. Doing that will limit your losses for the day and then you will get more time to think how to size your bet for the next day. You will also be able to change your strategy for the next gambling session and control yourself from over gambling. So don't go in hard and limit yourself for just a few bets per session.

It's been awhile I try daily to make profit
Stake casino mostly mines
But it take back profit.. I have 2k balance.. is there method
To get 100 $ per day
The short answer is no because one cannot consistently make profits in gambling and trading. Yes you can still try to get an average winning rate at $100 per day but it doesn't guarantee that you can win $100 daily. Besides that, if you are planning to take profits from gambling then that's too difficult. You might as well try to take profits from trading which is still better than gambling. Gambling should be for fun and you shouldn't depend on it as a source of income.

Correct me if I am wrong
I am not a football fan and any form of prediction is still a gamble to me, but I have gamble on few different online casinos and I believe that gamblers on casinos gambles with the casino games, meaning it's between the gambler and the casino, but with football it is different, your bet is on the performance of a soccer team and the gambling platform will only win your money if your football team loses, right?
This makes it more cleaner to me, there will be no tampering of the system or fine tunning their games to make gamblers loses more than they win.
Can anyone confirm if this is right? Or wrong.
It's not just football but sports betting in general. Others sports like boxing, cricket, horse racing are involved too. In fact there's also even betting such BTC price prediction and other crypto price prediction. All of these are bets where the casino's cannot manipulate much and is preferred by many gamblers.

I really don't think that AI should be used quiet yet if money is involved. Betting is fun and we can take a reference from AI but we shouldn't depend on it completely. We have to do our own analysis and only place the bets out of our own experience and knowledge. AI is not fully matured yet and it will take few more years for it to be really considered when money is involved.

2. Just one different character is enough to send the amount to a different address. May be we made a mistake in copy pasting or something but even if one character is wrongly entered then there are possibilities that the amount will be lost. Bitcoin addresses (I assume similar rules apply to the addresses of other cryptocurrencies) have a 4-byte checksum in the end. That number sequence protects against making copy/paste mistakes with addresses. Take a BTC address, paste it into your wallet software and change one of its characters, and the software will tell you that the address is invalid or non-existing. And you can't send to such an address, maybe not even with the worst type of wallet. More than only one character would have to change for the checksum to be OK: Tested this on binance and binance doesn't seem to warn the users in this case. Just used a random address. Correct address : 1EZJTPt5thSBE8XaMGHHrePAt53DcQxdBg Wrong address : 1EZJTPt5thSBE8XaMGHHrePAt53DcQxdBh Replaced the last character alone and binance accepted it. I didn't proceed with the payment authentication but do you think they would have warned us after the authentication ?

Talking about me personally there are things that I would do in both cases. Reading the terms and conditions at first place would have avoided both the issues.
1. Reading T&C we would have known that there is KYC and if there is any such process then it's better off to clear the KYC at first place and then gamble on the site.
2. Reading T&C we would have known if the bonus is active or not and if yes then we can raise a scam accusation against it. If the bonus was supposed to be expired then we could make the deposit accordingly.
In my early years of engagement with gambling casinos, I often disregard reading the Terms and Conditions but upon reading too many accusations and cases where the player is ignorant of the Casino policy, I now always read the platform's policy, especially the KYC conditions and if ever I see their Terms and Conditions to be reasonable, I will continue my registration but if it is vague I'll just skip the platform to avoid future problems. It is really essential to read the Casino policy on deposits, bonuses, and withdrawals so that we won't get caught unaware of things that should have been avoided if we have learned the casino policy before depositing and playing on the platform. That's exactly what we should do. Whenever money is involved we have to be more cautious. When it comes to depositing money on any site we should definitely look into their policies. If things go haywire then the fault shouldn't be at our end and only then we can blame the site and raise an accusation against them.

I have a general practice to copy the address from wallet and reverify every alphabet of the address after pasting. It hardly takes a minute but saves us our precious coins.
How do you do that, man? I have never been that patient to check all the alphabet from an address to make sure I'm not going to be scammed. Well, I usually check a few first and last characters, and most of the time, if the address is a used one, I check with the blockchain explorer to identify the address from the transaction history lol. That's far easy I think than checking every character manually. What's the chance that a scammer can generate almost the same address through a vanity search? Maybe it's possible to have the same address for a few characters but is it possible to have a similar address of mine with a similarity of more than 20 characters for example? No it's definitely very hard to get more than 20 similar characters but there are two things to consider 1. May be the scammer can get 8 characters same i.e. the first 4 and last 4 characters. Many people just check the first few and last few characters but tend to avoid the middle ones. 2. Just one different character is enough to send the amount to a different address. May be we made a mistake in copy pasting or something but even if one character is wrongly entered then there are possibilities that the amount will be lost. As for checking every character manually part it's quite easy. I have a strong short term memory and can remember 5-6 characters at once immediately. So I verify the address 5 characters at a time and the whole address is verified by every character in not more than 30 seconds. Would you risk your BTC for 30 seconds or lets say 1 minute ?

So we know that the only reward bitcoin miners will have, after the year 2140 when all the bitcoins are mined from the total bitcoin supply, is the transaction fees from all the transactions in the block. But what would happen in case the mempool is empty and there are no unconfirmed transactions propagated on the bitcoin network (basically no transactions in the block to be mined) . I know this occurrence is very rare and there will always be transactions on the bitcoin network but just in case ? Will the bitcoin miner receive nothing since there are no block rewards and no transaction fees to collect since there are no transactions in the block at first place? Did some search but couldn't find anything through the forum search and chatGPT's answer seems conflicting too.

After joining this forum, I discovered that I wasn't knowledgeable about bitcoin and having been doing research for a while in understanding bitcoin, now am more interested in going into the Technical aspects of Bitcoin, please I need resources to learn about bitcoin Blockchain Hash algorithm and also learning about cryptography as a whole .
It's great that you have decided to go deep into the technical aspects of bitcoin. I have myself decided the same and have already started reading "Mastering bitcoin 2nd edition". As others have already mentioned there's already a plethora of information available for us to grasp. Fortunately, we have all the resources and it's just the time that we have to put into it to go in deep.

It looks like since the last upgrade/maintenance the site is not working on some browsers even if you clear the browsing data:
snip
It is working if you try other mirrors (e.g. hash.game) but perhaps is it possible to force a cache purge or clear the data/browsing data from the site's end so these error messages won't show on the screen please?
You could have mentioned the browsers on which you are facing this issue. I have tried accessing the site and its working fine fore me. If it's something related to cache then you can always try using it incognito tab. I guess they have resolved the issue by now.
