There are gambling games that make use of people thinking, decisions and analysis.  Having a good skill in analyzing teams can help a gambler increase their chance of winning in skill-based gambling games such as poker and sports betting.  Luck may play a huge factor in gambling but there are games where skill greatly increase the chance to win.

A typical example of sport where we can get these is on sport bets, they have a unique blend of various patterns one can take to constitute his gambling experience, the way we think, reason or act can be affected by the kind of game or bet played, as a gambler, we are saddled with the responsibility of knowing much about ourselves then after the kind of games we play whenever we are gambling.
Sport betting os one of those gambling games that allows the gambler to make their own analysis of the game and have understanding of the histories of various team,  this alone give the gambler a 30% winning chances aside from other factors that gives the sport bettor better winning chances,  and having this knowledge of the analysis of the team it players and previous games results and performances make it easy to know the technical strength of the team and which position and rating you can give them,  facing the opponent,  this understanding is what we mean by skills,  you can see that this does not depend on luck but rather long term understanding of the games this is what we call skills in sports betting,  anyone with this skills,  fine it easy to win in bets.

Unlike in some pour luck-based games, e.g. dice and other none skills-based games,  that rely on luck to win them,  so for sure gambling with what you can afford helps the gambler to minimize risk and increase the chance of winning because you will have longer gaming sessions.
1262  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cristiano Ronaldo get 1 billion dollars lawsuit for his NFT failure on: December 11, 2023, 01:38:11 PM
its always like this some people are just always trying to blame other people for their own mistake same with this case, suing people just because investment went down while there are definitely not a single soul forcing them to buy the NFT but they just go on buying this thinking they gonna be millionaire but alas they lost their $75 as if its their biggest lost ever so they can't accept this and think ronaldo is scamming them.
some people are truly better off not investing anything because once they are losing they try to blame other people for their own mistake and as a result they just got themselves into trouble.
after all, i think even the dumbest person in the room will definitely know that these NFT aren't truly an investment but just some pump and dump fueled by the hypes therefore investing in it would be stupid, regardless I think Ronaldo won't care about this lawsuit.
That is life for you,  while some of them already may have gained from that investment, because you can't tell me that the NFT just turn shit right from lunching time because many of such cases,  it is the investors who may have allowed their greed to take the better part of them by not selling their holdings while they have the chances to do so,  and a lot of time most of those forks only lost a small amount,  and if it is that CR7 is just a promoter of the project then he will not have any obligation to them why it may be an obligation to him is when he has a direct contact with those investors and have given them his signature,  this is because a lot of time,  most of the celebrities that bring out such projects always promote it to they close friends and associate and some time,  many of those people, invest huge amount and if the project is selling in shares,  they will go ahead to invest heavily by buy a huge amount of the shares and that way,  Christian Ronaldo will sign a deal.

But anything outside that,  I don't think CR7undunder under any obligation to even honour that court case,  and it better still,  he has his management and their legal team let see how things go as we keep an eye on the case to see what the current update with the case,  but since we are still in the middle of international leagues,  the star play may still be busy in his club side and ain't respond anytime soon but still we have to look for any possible updates and the lawsuit progresses.

What a time to be here,  I am glad we have a place to call our own in this industry where we have helped each other to learn more about Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency industry,  13 years since Satoshi became inactive here in the forum and yet his posts and contribution have been a fundamental reference point for us all,  this is so practical for Satoshi to have gone behind the scenes to avoid any possible manipulation,  conspiracy,  and interference with bitcoin and it development.

I read somewhere in the Bitcoin white paper where Satoshi mentioned that Bitcoin should be allowed to be involved with time void of any possible interference,  and this reason has proven that we must acknowledge that fact and also follow the same pattern in our involvement with Bitcoin.
1264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shorter the time you spend the better on: December 11, 2023, 10:37:25 AM
Shorting your play time in gambling is the best strategy in gambling, apart from knowing how to manage your bankroll, don't spend too much time on a casino game, the longer the time you spent the more you lose, this is the truth that many gamblers won't accept at first until they realize it later.
There is no guarantee that the shorter timing you use will lower your losing rate,  because even you first game can be a lose,  and your last games may become consistent winning,  I am not saying that it advisable to spend more time on bets to be able to win,  but what I am saying is that,  in as much as you spend short time to lower your risk of losing so also you can also increase your gambling time to taste the winning at some point and that how it goes.

Maintaining a bankroll will definitely lower your risk ratio in ultimately help you to operate within a limit of financial commitment and that will ultimately save your ass from spending all your reserve balance.
Quote
No matter what time you soent,  the ultimate thing to do is to always bet according to what you can afford to handle at all time and still be in the best position to make effortless gambling in next time,  because most of the gamblers tend to
John mggmgn accept
Just like the first comment also point out,  if you are gambling for fun,  then you need to use an amount as low as $0.05 which is a good low amount that can give you a long period of game session to keep playing with a lower bankroll.

So for a gambler,  you have to first of all decide what you want is it fun or wagering to make money,  each will present you with their peculiar risk and demands and you have to align yourself to them accordingly.
Quote
But that is when you gambling for the fun of it,  bit those gambling for the money won't apply such technique but they will rather stake big amount and risk everything just to hit the jacj
For them it's about your addiction, and that's what brings in more money, and I am here to announce to you that time fixation is also a good way in gambling, spending 20 minutes in casino a day is better than someone who spend 1 hour.
Yeah for those chasing the winning,  it all about the money and they can stake any amount of money just to accumulate huge total winning, just like one of the celebrities in my country who staked almost 5 million of our local currency on a 1.5 ods but yet still lost so it is what it is,  the higher the amount the higher your chances of losing so chasing the money comes with bigger risks.
Quote
1. Have an amount limit you can risk on gambling every week.

2. Choose your favourite day in a week for gambling.

3. Have a time countdown when gambling, to avoid spending too much time.

Go back home or close your laptop once your time is up, and wait for the coming day, go back to your daily life and business, chase your goals using your business and invest more money on assets.

Do you agree or disagree? Drop your reason why.

These are all the fundamental principles for staying safe in gambling,  by trying to apply all the necessary measures to place your gambling activities under control at all times regardless of the direction you may be heading at any time.

Jumping from one casino to another are some the causes of greate lost in casino gambling games. Because when you have mastered there previous casino you have been playing with and suddenly probably because of new features or promotional bonuses and you left the casino to a new one which you have not gotten any idea and started staking. And before you know they have lost everything to the new site. And that is why it is good to stick to a casino that you have mastered so that you would not lose like that again and even if you lose it because the day luck was not with you. Though luck is for all casinos but when you have understand the casino don't leave it because it will cause a great damage for you.
That os it and I have also experience those loses also from jumping on a newly promoted casino,  this was when I was still new in gambling and didn't know what it meant to master a game on a particular casino,  indeed I list a lot before I realize that I was making a big mistake and redirected myself back to stake and one or two other casinos whom u am already familiar with since some times now.

So for sure,  I am not looking for a replacement for any of those casinos,  since I am satisfied with the services they render and also at Peach since they have a good reputation in the market.

I can't say a thing on it because I'm a man and I don't know the feels inside carrying a baby. It's sad and hard for sure to the mothers that had to give it up.

While there are people that don't feel any empathy on them and tells bad against these women that had to do it. There are good and bad reasons for doing it, well as for me, I'd leave it there and won't know anything about the reasons behind why they do that although some are obvious.
Legal abortion and illegal abortion are both there to act as a guide to what is legally acceptable as abortion and which could become a jailable offence,  and at most of make more sense that we view this discussion from both side so as not to confuse some readers of what is acceptable or not within the legal framework.

Although in my country there is no anti-abortion law just like we have in the US but then also all form of Abortion is seen as a crime in my country unless it is done in a government hospital and under the strangest circumstances.
1267  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will we see repeat of 2017 or new trend? on: December 10, 2023, 08:32:44 PM
There are some reasons why I doubt the 2017 trend will be different; Bitcoin was much cheaper at that time than it is now -- $900-$20,000 -- so it was easy for the coin to have an enormous pump all at once. When the last bull run started, it took a long time to pump and many corrections before it reached its peak. A difference from 2017 is that this started before the halving took place. I feel the trend this time is likely going to be like the 2021 with similar regular correction while it climb and no one will be able to know when we get to the peak for weeks until the dip hard
I agree with you on that,  Bitcoin may likely not see the level of pump it experienced back in 2017 because you rightly said,  bitcoin back then was much cheaper and that made it easy for its market to easily get pumped with little activities and trends.

But right now,  those mechanisms that make the reality of a huge pump happen in 2017 are currently absent such as the total unmined bitcoin and how much the price of bitcoin then compared to now.
1268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ? on: December 10, 2023, 08:06:56 PM
Even if I was a gambler who understood gambling techniques I would not teach my children or family members, because even though this is profitable but not a good thing, so I myself always hide my gambling activities because I don't want my family members to know about this. because I think they will be disappointed if they find out that I do gambling activities even if it's just on weekends.
Hiding gambling activities from other people or with your own family is good and there are also bad impacts, but I focus more on the positive impact if you gamble in secret, it is for the good of your children to avoid gambling and later when they are adults they will have a healthy lifestyle without gambling. .
This effort breaks bad family habits from being passed down to the next generation because gambling, even though it is considered entertainment, will still have a bad impact on those who do not have control over their own thought patterns and once again I appreciate your efforts that you will hide this activity forever and keep it away your family from gambling.
Kids always pick up whatever they see their parents doing and since as a father I am the first role model  for my kids that awareness maker to always watch my back any time I am engaged in activities that are only allowed for adults and I allow them to just be kids and play around never can I expose or make them know that I gamble and that has helped me a lot,  but notwithstanding,  we can also be the first teacher of our kids but such teaching should come in at the right time when they have attained the age to be able to comprehend such knowledge.
1269  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? on: December 10, 2023, 07:50:00 PM
I count every step with joy and I have zero regret for gambling in fact I have become better with gambling and I have been able to learn a couple of thing from gambling that is reflected in my life today such as financial management,  discipline and not to be greedy.

All this I have learned through my mistakes and losses from gambling because most times,  we tend to overdo things some time and that has had a resultant effect on us which we turn to lessons and we are now better off with those lessons,  so for sure,  I have no regret of any form for gambling.

What politicians (in any country) are accepting ₿ donations?

This U.S. congress candidate does: https://aversa.vote/

There are many politicians that are bitcoin holders, but for the benefit of what they do or whom they are, they wouldn't want to come to the public announcing to everyone that they are into bitcoin, if not they may be the first target yo be attacked especially in countries where bitcoin adoption is not freely allowed or supported by its government, so those having bitcoin will rather prefer to be salient about it than making noise on what they have or the side they are.
Bitcoin privacy open up a lot of freedom to people and unless you tell someone that you hold so so amount of bitcoin,  there won't be anyways for them to know and for sure a lot of times, they tend to misunderstand what Bitcoin advocacy is from Bitcoin holder,  a lot of times,  most of the politicians who speak for or against Bitcoin are just the top of the eye burg because many of them hold Bitcoin and use Bitcoin at the convenience and privately so for sure a lot of them alreadyknkw Bitcoin but due to one or two constraint,  they won't be able to publicly proclaim they owner of Bitcoin.

But also we have to talk about those that take Bitcoin as for their salaries,  I am sure we will have a handful of politicians who are taking they take home pay with bitcoin and I am sure that can be happening in countries where Bitcoin is already considered as legal tenders.
1271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: December 10, 2023, 06:35:41 PM
Does people retire in gambling? Gambling is an activity of choice and we can gamble even when we have retired from our workplace. Gambling is not like our normal jobs that we are going from Monday to Friday and retires when we have worked for about 30 to 40 years. Gambling is completely different from those kind of jobs or activities so I don't expect us to come here and be agitating about getting retired. Retirement is out of gambling, even people that are old are betting everyday without anything like retirement. We can bet and play games anytime we like and that does not need anything like retirement because we are not working for anybody.
That is a big question,  do people retire in gambling,  don't think so, those that gamble for the fun and entertainment will fine a way to do it at all ages long and as long as they can relate their gambling habits to recreational and at the same time staking it will be fun all the way through for them,  many time old age gives you the time to gamble more and at some point, I am forced to even believe that gambling should be done more by older people than you g people.

Because when one retires from active service there is a need to know what to do to keep body and soul together and to prevent sliding into any form of depression.
1272  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which are best stake alternatives on: December 10, 2023, 06:24:26 PM


it's good to only stick to few reputable casinos which have all features, games, interface of our choice,
sometimes the things go different like casino on which we are playing for a long time and we trust them and love to play there but what if they run with our money? or ban our account for some misunderstanding by their software? this kind of scenario can happen so we need to keep that in mind.
Yes aside from them being reputable,  we can also stock around to them due to the environmental inclination because on those casinos that we have been gambling with before,  we are already used to the environment and also game templates which is why we may choose them at any time.

Banning of the account has to do with violation of the casino rules and at the same time abusing some of the feature or bonuses, in the case where the gambler did not commit any of the mentioned offence and the account get blocked/banned it means the casino is possibly a scam and at that not a reputable casino.
1273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: December 10, 2023, 05:18:52 PM
This question is really very funny because the age in which some persons wants to stop gambling can still as well be the same age in which some persons wants to start.

The thing is not everyone would want to start gambling at age 80 to 90 years and above at this point people should have set out what would give them money to sustain their life than keep gambling to earn money except for gaming to catch cruise and ease some stress in their life. Gambling is not as easy as you may seems it is because it requires energy and time to focused on the activity otherwise an old man won't even try to gamble. we can say people from age 60 years blow can still gamble if they finds it funny or interacted to anticipate on, most times some gamblers set goal when they reach and hit their targeted point they don't mind quitting entirely without involving themselves.
Gambling is for fun and anything outside that is an insult to the core value of gambling in the most responsible ways as mentioned in their licensing document,  so for that,  I don't believe that age has a lot to do with how someone gambles and when to quit gambling at the same time.

So retirement from gambling is based on individual choice and determination because even at 80-90 years some person still has the free time to play some games and still have fun as long as it doesn't require them to take risks that could affect their financial well-being.

The only time I can say that gambling is stressful is when you are gambling charging a particular direction like a winning or loss recovery,  that way you get burned out as quickly as possible,  but if it is just for the fun of it,  then at any age you don't have any problem at all.

Why do we still continue in this debate to this point for as much as I know,  casino system and design is far different from Bitcoin mixer and whatever coin mixer that we can think about and for the presence of AML-KYC and the rest of other casino features that make it impossible for money laundering to take place through casino,  many times we have mix understood and taken casino as a gateway to get your coin mixed indirectly but then also,  every transaction that takes place through the casino can be verified and traced if the government demand that from the casino,  as against what mixer core value and operation is which is untraceable and 100% privacy which is why it mostly used by criminals to avoid traces.

1275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins profits or bank profits, which best? on: December 10, 2023, 05:03:45 PM
Bank investors have more certainty because there capital is completely safe but they give 8-10% annual profits to the investors of per year. But it is comparatively less in terms of profits.
No investment is 100% safe or zero risk,  and banks also have there own limitations and many banks inventors have lost money also due to bank liquidation and bankruptcies at least we have read of one or two banks who have run into such state before and that made us to know that we can't rely so much on bank investment since banks have third party involvement and government control,  which make the bank system open to corruption from various quarters.
Quote
On the other hand you will get constant profits from crypto as if you are experienced in trading then daily profits is possible. Otherwise you can get profits by investing. However crypto investment puts your capital at greater risk (main point).
Altcoins are basically gambling and their are not in any category to be compared to bank savings,  but then if you are an investment analyst and experts you will know that,  there are few of the altcoins that have performed exceptionally well and at that have given it holders hige percentage profits that can only take the bank 20-30 years to be able to meet up with such profits standard as an investment.
1276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone here started with a decent bankroll in sports? on: December 10, 2023, 04:53:03 PM
I think with $2,000 bankroll and you are consistent with 60% winning rate, you have already won in profit of above half of bankroll. This is an outstanding performance that I think not majority of gamblers reach to. It is not possible with even lesser of such winning rate of 50% that a gambler will be consistent with as gamblers complain of loses often. Well if I have such bankroll, I will definitely not risk all in gambling. I will invest more than half of it in another area.
60% winning ratio is already in big winning already and for that having such a huge amount of bankroll of $2000 is well above enough to put any sport better in profits no matter his many wagers he wants to before liquidating the total bankroll.

Many the time,  why most sports bettors lose out of bankroll so quickly due to low bankroll,  and as long as they maintain such low bankroll, their chances to make runtime profits from the bets becomes very hard at some point,  and that is why we have recorded a lot of those loses from that pattern of betting using the low bankroll.
1277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: December 10, 2023, 04:43:59 PM
Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.
It is wrong for the owner of the casino platform that he cannot gamble. Casino platform owners play gambling and they can use their own platform for gambling. In this case, there is no binding rule that they cannot participate in gambling by owning the casino platform. Humans are made of flesh and blood and have everything. If so then a common man and a casino company owner can certainly gamble. This is a very simple matter, just a little thought with your own conscience will give you the answer.
I don't see anything ethically wrong with a casino owner,  gambling on their own platform but what matters must at some point is wether or not he will be able to control or influence the result in his own favour most especially in the in house games where there is mechanism of house edge and if such be what becomes of the other players in his casino.

I think unless in sport betting that is the only game where there will be a probably fairness if you as a gambler is up against the owner, I am not saying it a sure thing for such abuse pf the platform to happen but let think of it in that direction also.

Because both in the La Liga and the Champions League,  Barcelona is booked to be facing some other stronger clubs that may make Barcelona's efforts look very minimal at the next stage,  but then also we may not be able or right to totally say so and for that we need to wait and see how the remaining time of the season goes for the club.
1279  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which are best stake alternatives on: December 10, 2023, 02:48:00 PM
Many players may say that the most reliable casino platforms are the safest and they may be right, but I am very selective with my casino, I play in a casino where I have the Freedom to Play what Suits me and I like.

We cannot be precise in saying that this casino is the safest and this one is not the safest for use not until we have a particular encounter with the way they operate in their services, gambling is just about personal interest and not on what is being common by other gamblers in using their own respective gambling platforms, everyone has his own choice and why they have made the decision.
What may seem right to MR A will not be ok for MR B since the risk of gambling is according to the individual's differences and that is what it is so we can say that stake is okay for us and another gambler will still have a worse experience with the casino so it all depends on individual differences and what matter to a gambler most,  is where his lick can fully be exploit and worked on by the time he is through.

Many times,  I don't find any reason to gamble at other casinos,  since I already fine confidence and built trust for the casino I am currently playing on.
1280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: December 09, 2023, 10:58:14 PM

After the players they bought in the Saudi Arabia,  think that's pretty much easy to predict some games during this season especially if that's a game between Al Hilal or Al Nassr and other teams and from the rates on these games you can see people wayes go for the stronger team because there is literally no chance for the other team against these two teams.

I think AI Nassr have made good use of the players signing window and from what I am seeing, AI Nassr seems to have an upper hand among other heavy bag holders from the Saudi Arabia leagues in this period where the leagues are gaining global attention and with loads of exciting development in the clubs which have resulted into what we are currently seeing with the league.

AI Nassr seems to be topping the league this season and any club coming against already should be aware of the chances to record multiple goals in possible losing out of the games,  with the likes of Christian Rinaldo in the club there will be a lot of advantage with that.
