1281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you tired of waiting for the jump? Pls Hodl on: June 19, 2023, 06:57:22 AM
I have bee here for quite long years so now I understand how highly volatile the price of bitcoin is. And if you insist selling at a low price, even lower than the price you bought, it will always be a sign of loss. So the best way is to understand that bitcoin will have it own time to rise its price, and hodling it until it’s price become bullish is the best key to be in profits.
While Bitcoin prices going down or bearish, holding issue may seem somewhat negative but the importance of holding in a bullish market is well understood by investors. All the early holders of Bitcoin are now well established. There are also some holders who held Bitcoin during the last bull market because they are more confident about Bitcoin's potential. While a bearish market may affect the price of Bitcoin temporarily, it will definitely be the best asset for investors in the long run. At this point investors should just patiently hold Bitcoin and wait. Those who can hold Bitcoin in hard times are essentially a true holder of Bitcoin. They will be more benefited by the Bitcoin investment.
1282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Thought On Gambling Strategies on: June 19, 2023, 06:32:20 AM
~snip~
Strategies may only be suited for investing and trading, but definitely it never works in gambling. I say this because all gamblers are not exempted from losing, as even experienced gamblers have also their own share of losses. Because if strategies certainly work in gambling, those who have been long time gamblers might have been very good on it and are already experts on how to avoid losses and maximize their profits. But that is not what happening in the real scenario, as the more you’ve been attached to gambling, the bigger amount of losses you might have been incurred.

We totally agree, if the so-called strategy, it is very suitable for the field of investment and trading. but that does not mean, the strategy cannot be applied in gambling. I mean, if gamblers don't have a strategy, method, technique, or whatever it's called, then we're gambling blindly. I understand what you mean, we are very aware that losing is part of the risk of gambling. in fact, even for investment and trading has its own risks. although, we cannot generalize it. Therefore, gamblers who have a lot of experience, or can we say veteran gamblers, I'm pretty sure, they have various ways, techniques, methods, strategies, or whatever you call it to minimize the rate of defeat. btw, we are talking about gambling in general and not just pure luck based gambling.

Well, if we talk about gambling that is based purely on luck, I agree with what you say. I would quote it, "because the more attached one is to gambling, the greater the possible amount of loss we incur". that's exactly right, if we relate to gambling that relies purely on luck. but unfortunately, your assumptions do not apply to some types of gambling. for example, sports, poker, or anything that involves knowledge, technique, knowledge, and experience. some people say skill, others say strategy.

But the important point is, gamble according to the standards of ability that we have. that way, we will only consider gambling nothing more than fun entertainment.

The thing with gambling is it is a game of luck and no strategy would be useful for you to win more. You might think that you have that strategy since it so happens that it works out of luck in some of your games but in reality it is still a matter of luck to win and the strategy does not help at all to achieve so. I think what gamblers need as a strategy is about managing their own money that is allotted in gambling, If one really wants more profit, a gambler should really know when to stop since it is better to achieve self control over these so that at the end of the day you can minimize your losses and be able to have profit for yourself.
Every gambler tries to use different strategies to win in gambling. But in reality this strategy is not always effective. Sometimes there are wins in the use of strategies, but there are also many defeats. Since gambling depends on luck, there is no possibility of getting good results depending entirely on strategy. But those who follow some basic things in gambling will be able to gamble for a long time. Should not pursue after a win or loss. The main motive should not be to win or gain more profit from gambling but to enjoy the real pleasure of gambling.
1283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: June 19, 2023, 05:49:54 AM
But it is undeniable that there are certain people who have a high level of emotion. So whenever they lose, they will blame anything, blame the game, the club, the odds, themselves, other annoying people, or whatever they think caused the loss. because sometimes, people like this, who are already addicted, are unable to think more clearly and logically, so what they think is defeat, emotion, and blaming other people or whatever it is.
The main reason for this situation is that some gamblers simply cannot accept their losses. They hide their mistakes and try to impose them on others. But more problems are those who abide with those gamblers. Because if the gambler loses after giving a little advice, the relationship between the people around him can reduced greatly. Sometimes it is said that a gambler does this for his personal satisfaction. But one thing is clear that those gamblers were not able to acquire proper knowledge in gambling. He should take responsibility for his wins and losses.
1284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: June 19, 2023, 05:13:30 AM
For gambling with cryptocurrencies i mostly use stable coins ‍and for this i have chosen USDT of Tron platform. But sometimes i try to  deposit TRX to save transaction fee. Many gamblers find it convenient to gamble with stable coins instead of Bitcoin to get rid of Bitcoin's fluctuations. This network is widely used in gambling due to its fast withdrawal and deposit facility. Moreover, a few days ago, due to the congestion of the Bitcoin network, transaction fees increased at a high rate and at that moment gamblers used the Tron platform most. A gambler will choose the platform of his choice considering the benefits.
1285  Economy / Speculation / Re: Good time to invest in BTC? on: June 18, 2023, 06:48:26 AM
I think now is the right time to buy more, currently the price is around $25800 and if we buy now then we can get big profit, remember that next year there will be a halving day which will make the price skyrocket in a short time. The key to success in investing in cryptocurrencies is to be patient.
Investing in Bitcoin is risky but an investor investing in Bitcoin is risky when it would be take from short term but in the long run it can be a great way to make money. Investing is difficult for those who are frustrated by the ups and downs of Bitcoin. But only those who are motivated to invest in Bitcoin despite all the negativity will be able to find success in Bitcoin in the long run. Of course success will come to those who can buy from a deep level. At the current price of Bitcoin($26500), only those who will store Bitcoin for the long term purpose can be profitable. This is a great opportunity for those who are considering investing in Bitcoin.
1286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: June 18, 2023, 06:12:01 AM
We also need to know that making money from gambling is not easy. That's the most important thing so we would not even think about starting to make money gambling. We have seen what happens to people who try to make money from gambling but experience loss they never imagined. If we keep trying it, we can get frustrated because the results don't match our expectations, so we lose a lot of money. We have to change our mindset so we can think of other ways to make money.
There are some experience gamblers who are living from gambling but that doesn't mean that everyone will be able to go to that level. In most cases what can be achieved is that those who consider gambling as a source of income are exposed to large losses. A few people make a living from gambling, but most lose. Gamblers who can enjoy of winning and losing rather than just envisioning gambling as a source of income can reap the maximum benefits from gambling.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: June 18, 2023, 05:53:23 AM
On the contrary hardcore gambler never end up in following all these rules because when we are in the zone we forget the reality around us and keep playing and playing. Either it is for fun or for the financial gains things could rig up in the gambling at anytime. The advice is nice but honestly no one end up following them. It takes whole lot of time to understand how we could control our minds. The only quicker way is to have that loss, the very first loss when gamblers eyes are wide open. This can only happen when user is playing and that happened naturally while playing. Because it’s money game and only a financial loss can set the proper zones. Hope so every gambler here know the whereabouts and gamble responsibly.  Cheesy
Your words are absolutely true. Gamblers doesn't care good advice, he never takes it into his mind when he is engrossed in gambling, he forgets all other thoughts because at that time gambling has something to gain or lose, so he never wants to divert his attention. Again there are some gamblers who do not follow any rules and regulations. But one common thing that almost everyone knows that when a gambler loses all his money, he begins to experience his delusions. Then he regrets with his gambling behavior in various matters. But if the gamblers could have been aware of the matter in advance, he would have been saved from his loss.
1288  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: June 18, 2023, 04:25:05 AM
But for obvious reasons,  some of the folks who are addicted to this kind on none betting game are higher than those who are actually addicted to real gambling where they have to stake an amount.
I believe what happens is that when there isn't money involved gamblers don't feel the excitement they use to have when betting for real money. When there is nothing to lose and nothing considerable to win the effects on your brain are different. The release of dopamine doesn't happen, your heart doesn't beat faster, you don't get chills. There aren't high expectations regards the outcome, because if winning or losing the bet it won't make any difference on your life.

It's like people say: no pain, no gain, although in gambling I think we could say: no risk, no thrill.
If it is a gambler, they will not find it any challenge as there is no money involved, and it can make them unwilling to continue. But if there is money, they will surely be eager to continue, and this is where the real temptation of gambling lies.
We can consider as a bet or gamble only when a few important factors are met. Otherwise, we cannot think of it as gambling.
To be a bet we must be concerned with money. There will be an opportunity to win or loss. It will also be risky. A gambler will take a risk in exchange for the possibility of getting more money from the bet. The gambler will depend on the probability and he is willing to take the risk. Gamblers typically will love to enjoy the excitement derived from this uncertainty and whenever these things are organized, we can imagine it as a gamble.
1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 17, 2023, 11:27:07 AM
World record of Bangladesh beating Afghanistan. This is the first time in the 20th century that a team has won a five-day Test by more than 500 runs. Bangladesh took the third biggest win in Test history. Bangladesh won by 546 runs in this match.

Afghanistan's 10 batsmen failed to score as many runs as Nazmul Hossain Shanta in two innings. In other words, the runs that Nazmul Hossain Shanto scored alone in two innings, the Afghanistan batsmen were not able to run.  

The fourth day was Taskin Ahmed's. He single-handedly brought down Afghanistan's wicket when he was caught. Taskin Ahmed picked up a wicket early in the second innings but he picked up three more wickets on the fourth day. Congratulations to all the Bangladesh cricket team.
Bangladesh created a big record by beating Afghanistan. Bangladesh team won the test by a big margin of 546 runs. It is widely discussed in various media where it is claimed to be the biggest victory of the 21st century in test cricket. However, many people are worried about the situation of the Afghanistan team. As much as they are proficient in T20 cricket, they have shown inexperience in Test. But here I will say that there is no doubt that the Bangladesh team is coming to a good position. Because Bangladesh team was defeated by Afghanistan in 2019. It is definitely a good come back for Bangladesh.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can One's Religion Compel A Compulsive Gambler To Quit Gambling on: June 17, 2023, 11:01:54 AM
This really depends on the person, but mostly if the person's reason for converting to another religion is very personal and for his belief, for sure he can quit gambling on it as it has a spiritual effect on him as well as his belief, but again, there are still others who will play secretly. I do have a lot of friends who believe gambling, drinking alcoholic drinks, and eating pig is a sin for them, but they still do it anyway, but secretly. I also have friends who really don't do it at all. But the chances really are high for those who quit gambling due to a belief or other reason.
Since the OP is making the point from a religious view, no argument is relevant in this perspective. But what is true is that it will totally depend on the individual. It would be better if gambler could stay away from gambling keeping religious view but it would be depend on entirely up to him. Many people conduct gambling even knowing about religion, but it is hidden. There are even news that clerics of various religions conduct gambling behind the scenes which never come to light. Because they know that people will look at them negatively if they know the fact.
1291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: June 17, 2023, 10:44:51 AM
Don't dream too much of getting big wins; only think of gambling as fun. We will not be so eager to chase that win by thinking like that and the best thing is that we can manage our money to gamble and enjoy the moment of playing gambling.
That's how it should be but many gamblers are not treating gambling as a way to entertain themselves. We all want to gain huge but gambling is not the answer to achieve that because of the high risk. If some gamblers are lucky to hit a huge jackpot, other gamblers are losing their money and some of these are desperate to accumulate funds to sustain their gambling activity just like the story in the op.

If we gamble we need to accept the result, never chase your losses and quit as early as you can. Because if you became addicted it would be hard already to stop. So keep in mind to only gamble in moderation to avoid the negative effect of gambling.

Many gamblers want to get big wins but don't understand that in gambling, we have to have luck to win. And as it turns out, many of them lose and can't recover their losses and if they keep trying, they have more chances to lose a lot of money.

And when it gets out of control, they will get angry and finally think they should continue gambling again. It will not provide good results for them but will provide more losses. We shouldn't be like that, especially if we are little gamblers or just gamblers who just want to win. We can try to find other ways to make money.
In gambling winning is a big factor. It is completely unreasonable to expect a big win in gambling. Because gambling is a matter of luck. If gambler's luck with him then it takes no time to succeed in gambling and if luck does not favor then there is no option but to lose. As victory and defeat are uncertain, no one can be sure what will happen in the coming days. But if gambling can be conducted regularly within a certain limit without becoming addicted then it can be called decent gambling. A gambler must keep in mind that the more he conducts betting with the aim of recovering his losses, he will lose more. The real target of gambling should be to enjoy only in the purpose of pleasure.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: June 17, 2023, 10:02:36 AM
it's true that notifications that we often find disturbing appear almost every day and even notifications on my cellphone for online gambling promotions can appear several times a day.

If this happens to every smartphone user, it is likely that even ordinary people will casually occasionally open online gambling site notifications and they might register and continue to play online gambling.
as we know that gambling in the view of most people is a bad thing and if in the past gambling was carried out in certain places. Meanwhile, for now, everyone can be free to play gambling without being known by anyone other than him and the gambling admin and they can play without having to consider bad things from the view of some people.

With this convenience, it is possible to make the online gambling industry very large. Because you don't need to come to a certain place to play gambling, you only need to visit online gambling sites to play gambling, so that online gambling sites are able to reach all lines of urban and rural communities and both young and old. Which makes the online gambling industry even bigger.
The convenience it provides is exactly why online gambling industry has grown so rapidly over the last few years triggered by covid-19 and the pandemic it caused. People switched from land-based casinos to online casinos because they were not allowed to gamble at land-based casinos since it is a public place and they were all closed down during the pandemic. People obviously found online gambling to be way more convenient than land-based casinos.

And on top of that, cryptocurrency gambling platforms have served like an icing on the cake by providing even more convenient options for deposits and withdrawals by reducing the time, speed, and cost of transactions for the gamblers who used to use traditional online casinos using fiat.
People have been interested in gambling since ancient times due to which this industry started to grow gradually. But since the pandemic of Covid-19, a major revolution has taken place in the online gambling industry. Because at that time all kinds of movement were restricted so people could not move anywhere. At that time there was nothing more enjoyable than online gambling. Covid-19 is said to have been one of the worst years for the online gambling industry. Since then this industry is improving.

Another reason behind the rise of the online gambling industry is cryptocurrency. Gambling with fiat money used to have various obligations but due to the ease of depositing and withdrawing through cryptocurrency, crypto based gambling platforms are now the most preferred gambling platform for gamblers.

Two days to go for the start of the 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup Qualifier. The grouping is as follows:

My prediction is that the following teams would advance to the super-6 stage:
Group A: Zimbabwe, Nepal and West Indies
Group B: Ireland, Scotland and Sri Lanka

What happens in Super-6 is difficult to predict, for now.
I expect 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup Qualifier matches to be very competitive before the World Cup. I will also support the top 3 teams out of the five from Group A among them Super 6 is more likely to be present. These teams are Zimbabwe, Nepal and West Indies but I have a doubt in Group B where Sri Lanka and Ireland most probably qualify but I am a bit skeptical about who to put ahead of the other 3 teams. Because anyone from Oman, Scotland and United Arab Emirates can rise up from this World Cup Qualifier. When there is such uncertainty, those matches will be enjoyable.
1294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you Considered a Career in Betting Consultancy? on: June 16, 2023, 06:34:00 PM
However, if you ask me if I am interested in entering and having a career there, I am not too sure that my gambling skills will be able to balance the job responsibilities. Of course being a consultant has big responsibilities, especially in the field of gambling, so I don't think that I will be able to shoulder that responsibility.
I have also no plans to make a career in this as I find it is more challenging. If one does not get success in various other professions then he can change his profession. In that case he may get his expected money. But if you make a career in this profession, you have to show high proficiency in gambling platform. And if not, then your career may be ruined. So, although this career good for those who are very experienced, it is not right to take it as a career for everyone.

I think it's simple that if a gambler listens to religion then he quits gambling, that's a personal matter. If someone does not leave that is also his personal matter. Every religion has commandments and prohibitions on various matters, but there are some who follow it and others who reject it. I would agree with many that even though some conduct gambling in disregard of religion, they may later return to religious ideals. Religion can show you good and bad but it is one's own responsibility to follow.
1296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win on: June 16, 2023, 05:54:35 PM
A boy won #38,000,000 ($82340.19) with just #400 ($0.87) and when the boy brought home his win, the biological father of the boy rejected the money because it was gotten from gambling. So that makes me to think how people look or see or think of gambling. Is gambling a bad thing to do? As for me gambling is not a bad something but the individual can be bad and also the way you present yourself in the society can also tell people about your personality.
How do you see the father? Was he right by rejecting the son gambling win?
Perhaps the Nigerian father considered gambling from a religious point of view. For which he did not accept that money. It is not unusual. Many families considered gambling as very badly. They think gambling will make their children bad. Even if they get greedy there they will lose all wealth. But there are some family fathers who take it easy when they get a big win. But it has been proven that the father OP mentioned who was not really greedy. This is a personal matter of that father. But most fathers will accept that money.

I know a big win cannot make me back off from gambling, and as such, it underscores the variety of incentives for gambling, just as you mentioned.

But, @slapper (boss), I don't seem to get your point of view on this matter. Would you rather shun gambling if, peradventure, you make a win of $200k, or, let me just say, if a casino offered to pay you off from gambling with the sum of $500k and ask you to stop gambling in your entire life time (you can call it an imaginary miracle of me), would you be able to ignore gambling?
I think it is almost impossible especially for those who enjoy gambling. No matter how much money you pay a gambler cannot get rid of gambling for the rest of his life. Although 100K or 500K is a big deal for a normal gambler but if he is a regular gambler then he must indulge in gambling . Money will never stop him. In this case I would say that it is not an easy task. Even a responsible gambler can find it very difficult to come back from gambling because a gambler always enjoy gambling not only the money.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: June 15, 2023, 08:05:27 AM
Is it fine to say that people should not go back into gambling once they made high amount of money? Because the chance of losing that money again is very high, even if they don't use all the money to gamble at once, gambling can take it all back in time.
I don't think so. Because not everyone comes to gambling only for earning money. Many gamblers who lose money but do not get discouraged and return to gambling. They consider it as entertainment. It's not that they get too excited if they win money at that point. They try to enjoy real pleasure from gambling. People who love gambling can never stay away from gambling even if they win big. But if there is someone who chooses gambling only for income and gets a big jackpot then the matter is completely different.

You have presented a logical point. Many of us have become enthusiastic about Bitcoin and sharing it with children. I would say they are playing a role in the promotion of Bitcoin but we mustn't avoid whether the kids can realize the importance of Bitcoin at this time? Of course not, and I don't think there's any point in learning them at a young age unless they're mature. If parents believe in Bitcoin and hold bitcoin for their children that will be a perfect initiative. As their child grows up, Bitcoin will become a great asset.

If we want to stop an addict then we have to take a serious approach to them. It won't be easy and for sure it will take a long process before they really realize what they are doing is wrong. I agree with you that maybe a spiritual or heart-to-heart approach might help to brainwash those who have been indoctrinated with addiction to some extent. But it's also not an easy task, because they will also refuse at first, it requires patience if you want the method to run smoothly, we will definitely put more effort into it.
Yes mate, if we keep pressure on an addicted gambler there is no possibility of getting any desired results. Because a gambler can continue gambling invisibly. But if he can be convinced through counseling it can be a good step through which he can come out of his addiction. I agree with you 100% that it would not be easy. Unless the gambler wants to get rid of his addiction by himself, it is impossible to get him on the right track.
