It is important to know what type of gambler is a person.  It greatly helps in the medication of a gambler with a gambling disorder.
Not aware of knowing this is important. Oh well maybe I am not that addicted to gambling that is why I can say this but in what sense it can help us out in case we have gone the wrong way and we got addicted in the game already? By the way I voted for casual social gamblers since I am mostly go to the gambling site to chit chat and not really to play gambling.

I develop a friendship there for my long years of stay on the site. They can help me and I can also help them. It is important for a gambling site to have a social media like function such as chat and a forum as this can drives some traffic and make the site look active even if some won't play heavily.
1222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you trust a gambler with your money/savings? on: June 27, 2022, 05:49:06 AM

Questions for discussion
- Are gamblers eligible to hold financial positions?
- Do problem gamblers deserve a second chance to hold a financial position?

1.) I think yes if you truly know the personality of that gambler and you find out that he still have a control for him self.
2.) Yes of course, as long as they have overcome their problems and are confident that they can handle that position again but you better not entrust them most of your wealth. We still need to observe things first.

Your friend did a good job there of helping his other friend. Maybe he also sees how hard the life of is friend was but the only problem is his friend which he abused the help given to him but I think now I know why he had a poor life and that may be because he wasted all of his money in drugs and gambling. It is important to know the background of the person first before we hire them on our business especially if they will handle money because maybe they have a past record of stealing. There's no excuse even if you say that you know the person or it was your friend.
1223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japanese man gambled away a huge Covid-19 relief funds mistakenly sent to him on: June 26, 2022, 08:38:03 PM
now, I have a question, do you think the man is entirely at fault or someone should also be responsible?
Japan has some strict laws on gambling and its allowed to specific people under specific conditions. You cant gamble openly in Japan like you do in USA or Europe. The man shouldn't have used that money for gambling since in banking system you can easily be traced. So the man was at guilty since he did a crime knowing that he can easily be caught.
I don't get it. If it's strict then why some are still allowed? Are their governments corrupt or what? And maybe they receive some kickbacks only to allow some offenders to gamble. Also, gambling in USA is not legal but I don't know about Europe if what is their stance against gambling. The man shouldn't have used that money, not because gambling is illegal or he can be tracked easily but because it was not his money.

It is bad to use someone else money because other person also assumes for it and they might be using that money for a much important things like providing food for their family but now it's gone. What will happen to them now?
1224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Asian Cup 2023 Prediction and Discussion on: June 26, 2022, 07:08:02 PM
I think you mean to say Indonesia instead of Milan Smiley Coming up to the chance of Indonesia in the Asian Cup, I would not expect too much. They could go this far is more than enough already. At least they have shown something better than before (improved). Their chance to go further is indeed small, what they should do is do their best no matter what would be the result. Not to lose all matches in the Group Stage will be enough for me as Indonesian supporter.
I agree with you, still too far to reach the trophy.  there is a lot of homework for Indonesia to be better, the development of national football is very monotonous from every match and only this time the new coach makes a difference, this is quite good as a new start.  the only thing that has to be done in the future is to do your best while playing. I think this is enough for a team that has just entered again in the asia cup.
Right now, as we can check all data about teams which are participating into this Asian Cup peoples are creating feud about Indonesia without any solid reason and just because they are host country which is not good enough for winning this mega event in presence of too many strong teams which having quality and skilled players which some good experience. Indonesia was good team, but now they are playing after few years and having teams which are not experienced like Japan, Korea and Australia which are hot favorite for this mega event.

If they want to do something good then surely they need to settle their inner politics which are hurting badly this game and their strong domestic setup is also needed of time.
1225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Its One Too Many on: June 26, 2022, 10:33:56 AM
I will not mention any particular gambling casinos, but what are your thought if the casino or casinos with good feedback from the community, but with one unresolved scam accusation but from all angles, the accusation is legit with all the screenshots, transaction hash email conversation are provided by the complainant lets say he is not allowed to withdraw his earnings amounting to $100k but from all angles the accusation is valid, don't you think with thousand good feedback, its enough for the casino to lose his reputation with one legit accusation.
That is enough to ruin the reputation of the casino because people will see it as a scam attempt by the gambling site. However, in the end, it still depends on the gamblers if they will still play despite the reputation of the gambling site, and I think there's no gambling site that has no negative feedback, there are gamblers that are not happy with the service and they will post a scam accusation.

As a gambler, we should weigh things, we should not make a conclusion right away because if they are regulated, of course regalators will take care of the complaints.
Saying they are a scam just because you didn't like some of its service is I think not right. I know it is also a form of negative feedback, but the one that we are talking about here is about the reputation or if the casino commits a scam. Regulators can take care of complaints related to scams but about a feature that a gambler didn't like, I think they can't do anything about that but that was an obligation of the casino itself.

It can be fixed easily since there is no big amounts involved not unlike if they scammed millions of dollars and they already spent the money. That is something that is hard to sort out. There is no perfect site but that's fine as long as they aren't scamming the players' money.
1226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: June 25, 2022, 08:12:47 PM
Kids in Russia or France won't have any interest in cricket, when they see a bunch of Indians and Pakistanis wearing the jersey of Russian or French national teams and competing in tournaments. In order to attract native players, you need to have natives in the squad. Forming national cricket teams entirely of foreigners may enable the ICC to claim that they have 100 or 120 members, but it does a lot of damage to popularity of the game. I don't want to comment on duration anymore. Now we have the T10 format, which gets completed in around 1.5 hours.
I believe Cricket is the game of South Asia - there are vert. diehard fans in India and Pakistan. But other countries have their interests and they have other sports of interest. That is correct as mentioned above - Russians and French are not much interested in cricket. What do they play than Soccer?
I am not agreed here now with the new formats of T-10 and T-20 this could be for every one but going to take time because ICC has never been ideal organization for spreading this game here things are going for just support of two or three countries which is having not good impact.

If they want to spread this game drastically then surely need to implement few tough rules for all and try to have gone with same fair policy, but now it's completely impossible money is too much involved, and they are happy with IPL is going to have good funds for their deep pockets.

If ICC takes some strong initiatives then surely we can go positively for many more good and quality players from different countries which are currently not involved in this game.
1227  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why your alt didn't dump as much on: June 25, 2022, 06:05:51 PM
I don't know if I'm the only one who is lost here, following OP as they didn't list the alt they're hodling which didn't dump. From what I've seen on crypto sites and my portfolio, alts dumped seriously. Except OP is referring to stablecoins, otherwise alts dumped. They're likely to dump even more in days to come as I believe Bitcoin isn't yet done with its correction. We know whenever Bitcoin goes down, it drags alts with it.
Of course, if you are talking about stablecoin, it won't really go down.
This is why it is stablecoin, if it will go down hard, then, something is wrong with your stablecoin.
And that was like what happened in LUNA.

The OP haven't mentioned the specific alt so we have no idea why that alt has not lost much.
But in this market, the decline is really very subjective as there are so many factors involve.
Not only the current situation but the activities of the team themselves.
Are you going to expect the coin will progress if the team is slow in their deliverables? Nope.
Most stable coins can only go down with a tiny percent but they can be able to return immediately however there's a different kind of stable coins like ust which can depeg and drop by major percent's. OP thinks all users here are psychic which can predict the coin he is talking about xd. Right a lot of factors are in play on why a coin's price can change but the op thinks there is only one factor. He said it's only about the market but it think that is wrong.

@OP if your alt didn't dump then congrats but it doesn't mean that you are alt are now better compared to the top altcoins. Most of us here arent curious anymore on why alts dumped since this issue isn't new anymore but we are used to it already.
1228  Economy / Economics / Re: Where to invest everything looking bearish on: June 25, 2022, 03:06:06 PM
Cake has good staking rewards if you are willing to lock up 1 year plus. Another good option is ICP, which has 20% APY staking rewards. It's easier to stake ICP because you don't have to use DeFi, you deposit in their website.
Not sure if what he mean there is the coins that are listed on pancakewap or it was the cake coin but what you said there is legit. Indeed that cake and icp are two of the most known when it comes to staking as they offer juicy rewards but If I were to pick between them I think I will go with cake since it is more decentralized but in the case of icp you said you are going to depo the coins to their own website so that means they control everything but we can try with amounts that we can easily afford to lose and then we can choose a much shorter term in case there are problems that their site might face in the long run. At least we already secured our profit.

Brazil has won the world cup 5 times and Argentine has won the cup twice.
So winning of the Brazil are far more than other country - but than again - you never which team is lucky enough to win the title this time. Hype is all around the globe already.
This year at Qatar it will be really different. First time you play a world cup in the middle of the season. Also a lot of teams this year are all close and i think we will se a lot of surprises. For me on paper the clear favorites is France but with them you never know.
There is no doubt we are going to have first world cup going to play in Winter, and it's first World Cup which is going to hold in the Middle East which is also having big impact on all teams with conditions are completely different for most of the teams which are preparing for this mega event.

Now who is going to win it's not sure because we have some good surprises in last world cup and here we can expect some more because all teams are doing hard work for this even and on papers all have very good players which can give their best for win of this mega event as @Joca97 feeling France is hot favorite for me, they are second in list of favorite countries because I am going with Brazil and then France and Germany.
1230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 24, 2022, 09:03:28 PM
no one doubts Bayern Munich will continue to dominate the Bundesliga next season whether or not Lewandowski will stay. The arrival of Sadio Mane from Liverpool of course made Bayern Munich stronger but now the Bayern club certainly wants to continue to grow so they can dominate Europe by winning the Champions League title. now their squad is very capable and the possibility is quite large.
There is no doubt Bayern Munich is going to be dominant power in next season as well because they have some good number of world-class players, these can change games in every movement. Right now Robert Lewandowski is talk of town because he wants to leave Bayern Munich, and they don't want to allow him which is big concern for relative player even they already have his replacement which can do good job as he is a quality player and most chances Robert Lewandowski's departure is not going to have any impact on this club in Bundesliga or Champions League.

Sadio Mané is already given good job at Liverpool and here he could be better player with more chances instead of coming from bench.
1231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin have real value? on: June 24, 2022, 08:23:34 PM
values and value are different categories.
I completely agree. I was talking about the economic value.

think of the sentiment values(aesthetic/desire/demand/provenance) of art as the values(utility/function/features) of houses and bitcoin.
I've picked art because its economic value is questioned by many. (And Bitcoin value keeps being questioned, as you can see).
I cannot argue that houses do hold economic value, but those value is not questioned (or at least not as heavily as art).
There is both a difference, and there is also a similarities between them. First of all, Mona Lisa has a value right?

It is certainly a higher value than the paint used or the paper it was painted on, it has a value more than most other paintings I assume, don't know if it is the most expensive one, and yet it is certainly not the best painting in the world by a mile, we have seen much much better ones if we are talking about talent or how hard it is, there are paintings out there even leonardo da vinci can't paint, and yet Mona Lisa worths more than them, why? What makes it more valuable if that's the case? The answer to that, is the same as why bitcoin is this much valuable.
1232  Economy / Speculation / Re: Was 17600$ was the bottom ? on: June 24, 2022, 06:42:36 PM
Some of the members have already speculated $17,600, that's the bottom or there's another time we never imagined.

I understand Bitcoin once in four years there is a change in terms of price, before the next ATH occurs, my understanding and my belief is that this is not the end of the bear market, there is still a continuation, I don't know how much we'll see.
But we don't know that there prediction is exact to what's going to happen on the market because even if we are quietly have some little pull ups still it will never give any guarantee that the $17,600 is the last dip we can see. Maybe there will be more as the target of other speculators is at more bottom of $17k or more.
I believe that we could be reading too much into this, I mean if we are thinking about the price recovering to a high level, eventually it will be enough to call it a profitable one, and won't go back to bottom.

Sure there are levels to this, just because you reach 23k doesn't mean you won't go back down, but if you reach let's say 33k, it sounds like it would be hard to go back down right? Or go to 43k? That would be still "possible" but definitely not likely. Which means that there is a number where we can go up, and then say that we won't find any lower bottom and that was it. We will not be sure if that was the bottom until we reach those prices, but we will know when it happens.
1233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 23, 2022, 09:41:41 PM
Every year in the Bundesliga we see the dominance of Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich wins the title every year at the end of the season. Hopefully next season we will see the same thing. And I would say Bayern Munich's team is stronger and more stable next season than last season. They are probably trying to sort out to win the Champions League title again.
Bayern Munich is surely dominating power in Bundesliga for many years and there is no team which can give them challenge few years back we have some touch challenges for them but most of the time with their strong structure and idea finances they able to settle things very quickly which is not possible for many clubs in Germany. Recently we have some good teams with quality players but still mostly feeling Bayern Munich is going to dominate because no other team is having enough firepower to challenge them.

Sometimes I feel Germany Soccer Authorities needs to change this name from Bundesliga to Bavarialiga because now it's much suitable for them with domination of this club. We have some good changes in Borussia Dortmund which is good but sadly not able to give challenge to Bayern Munich.
1234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which stablecoin do you "trust" the most? on: June 23, 2022, 08:14:07 PM
I think everybody knows what happened in the last 2 months. A couple of stablecoin or even more crashed. I know at least 3 that depegged from the US Dollar (UST, USDN and DEI)
This caused a lot of tension on which stablecoin would be the next to depeg. At one point, USDT was under a lot of pressure, and its price even slight dropped as people were rushing to buy USDC and BUSD. Which brings me to the question

Which stablecoin do you feel so comfortable using, without having any worry of depegging?
Just what I thought. After researching the two coins ( usdn and dai) I found out that they are similar to ust in which they are also algorithm based and that would be the main reason on why those coins fell down as well but if you are an investor of those coins and you found out what happened to ust then you shouldn't wait any longer because your coins can probably end up on the same path as ust.

I don't know if there are more algorithmic based stable coins but they are likely going to suffer the same, maybe not now but it can happen in the future but for the stable coins which are still safe, they could be usdt, usdc, busd and dai. People should't worry on them.
1235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 22, 2022, 09:06:49 PM
Inter have a strong team to win the league next season. They are heavily favored by the bookmakers. Juventus is again highly regarded, and there is no other way if you see what kind of players are walking around there. Juventus is praised defensively, but that is where things went wrong last season, right? They have sufficient quality in attack and in midfield, but the Achilles tendon seems to be the defence. De Ligt may still be too inexperienced.
In last season we have very interesting competition between top ranked teams for title like in first half Napoli was dominating, but sadly they fail to keep this lead and at the end they dropped to fourth now in this season we have two completely different teams for title race with Inter and Juventus and strengthening their squads most chances we will have only two-way race because AC Milan and Napoli both are struggling and have no good enough players for challenging them in title race. Atlanta and Roma are also having issues which are preventing them for having strong enough challenge for title.

Here in next season most chances Inter will lead throughout but if Juventus able to settle their problems in defense then surely it's going to be very tough challenge for both teams.
1236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin monetary policy on: June 22, 2022, 07:20:01 PM
For those looking to escape living their life pay check to pay check, then volatility makes sense if they can time it right. For those that want massive amounts of adoption, and also consumer confidence, a steady price is what you want.

For me, I'm comfortable with Bitcoin being volatile for the time being. However, in the future I would want, and expect it to become a more stable currency. It's basically designed this way, as time goes on, and less Bitcoin is being mined, and therefore introduced into the network, the less volatile it becomes. You can almost compare block rewards like printing money off, expect it's already preplanned in Bitcoin to have these injections, and it gets smaller as time goes on, until it's no longer anything. However, for the short term while we do have these mini injections, we see somewhat the same as if the governments printed money off in fiat. We get a sudden increase in the amount of Bitcoin available, which theoretically pushes prices down, because while the demand might still be the same, there's ultimately more coins in the network.

When block rewards are gone, Bitcoin should theoretically become very stable.
I would guess that both could happen together, doesn't really require anything changing from the current market. How? Well, simple really, people who are looking to espace paycheck to paycheck could end up liking a stable bitcoin which goes up decently without much volatility, doesn't need to make like 10x profits like it does now but shouldn't crash neither.

Or, if we can't stop the volatility, then people who want adoption could get it adopted a lot via either volatility being a good thing, or stablecoins like USDT or BUSD offering more stable entrance to crypto for other people. So we could have both of those people in this current market.
1237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: June 22, 2022, 05:31:56 PM
Arsenal's management confirmed the inclusion of Fabio Vieira, a Porto midfielder, for £34m. I think Fabio's talent will leave an imprint on English stadiums by putting in good performances with the arsenal.!!!Arsenal have made a bid for Raphinha, but it will be rejected as Leeds believe the 23-year-old is worth more than the player's value.

I think Arsenal know what they can do for next season and they have to look for more talent to be able to establish themselves in the EPL.
After sometime now Arsenal are having some better things in game and squad like as they play last year now management feeling with some good changes they can achieve better results which are not bad at all Arteta is doing good job which is having good impact overall. Now as they are investing and bringing some good skilled players, these can bring better results.

Raphina is surely currently one of rising stars and Leeds United already rejected few bids for him so most chances he is going to stay there with this now Arsenal can go for Gabriel Jesus which is also good signing for them because after Lacazatte they need more strikers for next season.
1238  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did Bitcoin Disappointed You ? on: June 21, 2022, 06:51:43 PM
Ask yourself this: what has changed about bitcoin apart its price?
The answer is nothing so the answer to your question is also no. Those people who thought they could become rich overnight by buying a small amount of bitcoin are disappointed these days. The rest of us are actually happy because we are getting a huge discount and that means we can buy more bitcoin or receive more bitcoin as payment.

For example when I started I sold something for about $200 and received almost a whole bitcoin! That was in a dip very similar to this one. I'm trying to sell some stuff for bitcoin again or for fiat and then buy bitcoin with it because I want to take maximum advantage of this discount.

At the end of the day bitcoin is still the same  censorship resistant decentralized currency that is working on a global scale. The fact that some newbies are panic selling because US+EU economy is falling apart is not a concern of mine.
The "change" doesn't have to happen inside bitcoin itself, the price has changed and peoples approach to it has changed as well, that is good enough in a financial market. If you see something as marvelous but it turns out to be not a marvelous thing, then you could stop buying it, and the price would go down.

However, the idea is that there was an inflation, all nations printed ton of money, and that caused the price of everything going up, not just bitcoin or crypto but ALL things went up, this caused the price of bitcoin to be 68k. Then nations said we should get some of that money back, to stop inflation, and now the price of everything is going down. That is the main reason.
1239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC & ETH Trends for the week on: June 21, 2022, 04:52:32 PM
2 coins namely BTC and ETH are what determines the market, if BTC and ETH Red then we can be sure that the market is immediately red, and now is a difficult choice because the price of ETH drops is below $ 1000 and currently around $ 980, if the market is not immediately rising anymore I'm worried that I will continue to drop and make a lot of altcoins that I save also drop significantly.
I have to say it is not that clear, we are not talking about just white and black here, we are talking about some things that will take a while and meanwhile other coins could show some life before btc and eth. I am not saying that btc and eth will stay low, there is no way that they will stay low for a long period of time when everything else goes up, that won't happen.

But, it also means that we won't have btc and eth going up before anything else guaranteed neither, they may stay like even if just one day behind, but could stay behind nevertheless. That is why I believe that we should not be looking at just two coins when predicting the market, look at top 100 on CMC (single page) and you will do a lot better.
1240  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Hello Guys what you think about bnb.can bnb hit 1000$ soon or not.i think bnb hi on: June 21, 2022, 12:46:24 PM
Hello Guys what you think about bnb.can bnb hit 1000$ soon or not.i think bnb hit 1000$ soon. Plz give your opinion.
Well, what is soon?
We have very likely a bear market now, bro!

It's only possible when BTC goes towards 100k and Binance Coin will follow.

A different question is if we really NEED Binance Coin? It's just a coin of a large exchange and some competitor coins are much more innovative from a technical perspective.
Soon is a short period of time. It can be a few days but I think that is still not enough to be able to reach bnb that high but I believe that bnb can reach that amount even if btc didn't hit 100k because bnb is a useful coin. It has different use cases which surely can drive a demand on its own without needing to depend on other coins. The answer to your question can be optional or it depends on you.

If you use binance exchange regularly then having bnb can be beneficial and also if you are an investor that likes to diversify your funds and there are no other good options left, bnb can be a nice addition on your portfolio since it was also a top coin.
