1341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your rate in betting base on odds alone? on: July 03, 2023, 08:21:18 AM
How often do you win in Soccer games if you just bet based on odds by picking a team with 1.50 and 1.70?
Well, hard to answer this question properly. There are lots of various factors that affect the odds and the probability of the possible event is already matched inside the odds. That is why taking into consideration only odds will give a specific advantage to the user and users can explore the possible outcome variation by just checking the odds portal. The best website for this purpose is definitely oddsportal platform but you have to register to check odds change for getting the best results, IMO.

As for me i just considers it a risk when the odds appears in-between the two figures highlighted above, that is not a determinant for winning because they set up the odds specifically to distract some while as the match proceeds they also adjusted these same odds, but there are many people who are interested in these odds and take advantage of them because they have been used to how they manage them while gambling to always keep safe.

One thing that Cryptocurrency exchanges are known for is kyc most especially the centralized ones,  and KUcoin is just trying to improve on what they already have in place  
KuCoin, like other centralized exchanges, requires KYC before p2p trading, but KuCoin has granted users the ability to trade, send, and receive cryptocurrency from various locations without KYC. I believe they wanted to be like others by disallowing users from using the exchange without KYC for some trading and investment.

We should always expect KYC anytime as long as we are having a centralized exchange in use, if we think they are not demanding for such for now doesn't mean they wouldn't later in life, but by the time such would have been coming, it may be the moment we would not like having it coming as at that time due to the conditions and urgencies at hand, to stay more clear and safe, we can also consider using decentralized exchanges with no KYC request at all.

 So far from various individuals views would you say that social media has made more negative impact than the positive side?
Let's get your thoughts.

Let's dive into the benefits of social media itself, the intention for this advanced technology is to get everyone along with development trends by creating a fun fair plaforms people from across the world could meet, relate and discuss on many aspects of life, it could also be informative, educative and transformational, but it's a pity that some people have taken extra steps away from this to suit their selfish interest by using social media to scam and attack people in many ways, fake news is also what is going not too well through the social media aside diverse opportunities tht comes through the social media.

OP let me correct you and also advise you here, before you make a post or create a thread, try as much as possible to see that the aspect you will be talking about on your thread had not been created already by someone, here's a local board doesn't mean we should appear anyow we want and it wouldn'take sense spamming the board with repeated topics already discussed just as in your case, please always check if your topic has already been discussed on another thread or not, I've seen so many threads already on this subject matter on the local board.
1345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Want to invest on: July 01, 2023, 03:17:24 PM
Bitcoin is the best top valuable coin right now to invest into because by the end of this year Bitcoin will increase just give Bitcoin a try, trust Bitcoin that's why i am referring you to it, talking about BAT, the choice is yours to make about your new investment, bit my advice is that don't use all your money to buy just one coin that isnt pumping.

For any newbie or beginner in cryptocurrency, what they should first have in mind is to learn to know about bitcoin being the leading cryptocurrency first before diversifying into altcoins section because they will have to get the background knowledge in cryptocurrency through their first understanding of what bitcoin is and the experience they will have along with it, then when they feels ok to go further on alts, they can make more research about them and invest on reputable ones, they should also have an idea of the possible risk involved.
1346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Cash is pumping, why? on: July 01, 2023, 03:11:58 PM
Maybe it's an indications that altseason is coming as well? I said this because my altcoins portfolio is increasing as well especially on XLM token that I hold. For BCH, it might have a good reason to make the pump and it's a good thing for holders to see BCH is going alive again despite the bear market right now. I don't mind pumps as long as major altcoins will follow as well.

If we are to experience bull season, there are some signs we need to take a look on before we can expect such to come, though this is quite believed to be a preemble to their season but what will preceed is the halving which is coming next year, then we would have sensed it as well from bitcoin because the riae will begin from the bitcoin network, so many altcoins will rise along together with it during bullrun.
1347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HODL or not? BTC investors need to rethink their strategy as on: July 01, 2023, 02:59:53 PM
Whatever happens, we recognize that the volatility in the crypto world is very high. Regarding all strategy and portfolio management I think HODL is still the best choice for all situations.

More to say on this is to always get reminded that bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency one can still hodl over a long period without having any fear of missing out, we may also hodl other cryptocurrencies but on a short range, when we buy the dip then we make sure to hodl till we have more opportunities to make us sell after we would have realized more than we've invested, if you're holding you're safe but how long you hodl determines what you're holding.
1348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Recommend me altcoin to DCA till halving on: July 01, 2023, 02:43:51 PM
Common man what kind of question is this? If you want to do DCA you should find an altcoin man. No one can recommended it to you. Because it's depend on when to start the DCA, When to Exit the DCA, How long do I need to DCA, How much should I DCA weekly/ monthly and etc... This depends on person to person man.  Wink

If we are to also take a look at the numbers of altcoins we are having daily been introduced to the crypto network, we cannot get enough of these because there are many of them having the better potentials to make their investors proud over time, but the challenging aspects of it is on how to locate one in this case, which will still come back to advising OP more better to learn how to make his own research because he will always have the need to do so.
1349  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: July 01, 2023, 02:14:52 PM
Sure, sending notifications of any changes is a good practice, but did Stake.com actually obliged themselves (in the ToS) to send notifications of any changes? If not, you'd still have to read them everytime you log in, if you want to practice what you preach.
This is the cheatsheet of every casino that lawmakers should check and I knew every service is required by law to do that(notifying when there's a change in TOS at least 2 weeks before). But stake mentioned on its TOS that they can change their TOS with or without notifying its users so you need to read it regularly like its just 3-5 lines sentences amp.

I don't see anything that calls for worrying oneself on the issue of discussion concerning recent experience with the stake.com gambling platforms, all they requested is for you to complete a KYC procedures required to have a good catch on every elements of money laundering attempts, i hope by now the conditions given is not what ordinary person cannot afford to give knowing that they are KYC casino.
1350  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: July 01, 2023, 01:57:34 PM
We should not always accuse casinos as scam when we are having some challenges in using them because most of all these challenges are coming through the mistakes we do in which we may have the awareness of it or not, but what is expected of us is to get used to the way things are being done, most of this encounters were due to our carelessness or suspicious activities we engage doing on their websites, though this doesn't mean that there are no casinos with bad reputation but they are few and the the ones caused by gamblers are more than the rate at which the casinos operate in a phishy way.
1351  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: July 01, 2023, 01:15:53 PM
We cannot consider any betting without money as gambling. There are some situations where money is not exchanged but is treated as a bet. I have some friends who sometimes bet with some others friends where they don't prioritize money. But if they lose the bet they are obliged to give treats. Can i consider such bets as gambling? Definitely not, Because there is no direct relation to money. Moreover, no one has any regrets even if they lose.

Staking down your money is what makes it to be called gambling and also gives you the right to have the opportunity to claiming your money if you win since you've taken the risk of loosing the money through gambling by staking it, without money being involved people will not regards it as gambling than child's play because they believe you're still not giving or making a ground on what you're playing without betting it.
1352  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: July 01, 2023, 12:32:19 PM
Aside from the risk of losing a good chunk of your money despite gowing with low odds mentioned by other members above, on most casinos, small odds bets usually do not count toward the wagering requirement. Some of them don't even count bets made on some games like dice, crash and the like. At best they have a different wagering requirement for bets made on such games like 5x or more.
Casino owners are too smart and it's not that easy to fool them Smiley

Yes you're right, wagering requirements don't count in most cases were applied to some particular games or low winning amount of money involved, which means in other words, we have to get the requirements for wagering meant if we are dealing with a high volume of money being involved especially when you already make a win before you can claim them, i guess only fee casinos will not add such requirements to their platform in this regard.
1353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: July 01, 2023, 11:48:20 AM
Playing with control and a healthier mindset will enable us to play gambling more thoroughly and responsibly, gamble with money that we are ready to lose and don't chase high wins, enough to have fun and enjoy gambling will keep the desire away from continuing to gamble with a healthy mindset will help prevent us from becoming an addict.

Since this is possible then why do we keep seeing some people being under addiction or found with one or more abnormality attached to their gambling lifestyle experience, we have some benefits and advantages meant for us to have by default without any more discomforts coming in along with them than when we on our own way introduced some to our gambling experience, we have the control to this and what we determine to see is what we do and put in more efforts which turns to be either we are gambling responsibly or not.
1354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: (Crypto Games) A revolution in the gaming industry or a passing trend? on: July 01, 2023, 11:11:41 AM
Today I would like to understand and find out your opinion about the real value and potential of crypto games. I am interested to know how much they can change the gaming industry, what challenges and problems are associated with them? Grin

When we are playing games, the first thing that we are after is to get the satisfaction of having pleasurable time amidst our peers in a gambling station or while on their platform online, every since the introduction of cryptocurrency, many of this same gaming industries have switched to the use of crypto games to make their services more unique and acceptable by playing along the dictate of the development trends in financial economy whereby gamblers will now prefer the use of cryptocurrency in making payments for gambling.
1355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: July 01, 2023, 10:53:16 AM
Gambling for fun is more about self-control. If you know how to manage that emotions, then you are good to go
and you are not going to be prone to any addiction as you use the place to sort some entertainment.

The question is, why would you choose this form of "fun" over infinite other options that do not require you to risk your assets at unfavorable odds?
If one has enough self-control, then you'd expect them to make sensible decisions, including the choice of activities they do for entertainment.
And if someone is engaging in gambling only when they spot an opportunity where they have a mathematical advantage - then they should approach it in a cold and calculated way rather than get carried away with emotions of "fun".

All these are happening because some gamblers were inexperienced enough or lack some personal strategies to use for gambling that could give them the required results needed.

When we are gambling, we are taking time to invest ourselves on having pleasurable moments provided that we are not too curious about winning when we gamble, but for the sake of those that depends on winning while gambling, they have a lot of task to do while becoming an expertise in gambling after they would have tried out many strategies to discover the one best for them.
1356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: July 01, 2023, 10:29:07 AM
It seems that in the next election, Biden will again face Trump and this will again be a fairly hot election, considering that these two pairs are people full of controversy. It will be quite difficult to choose who will win, whether Biden or Trump, but considering Biden's declining health, this will be a good chance for Trump to regain his position and remove Biden from his position as president.

I am not sure whether health of either candidates (let's not forget the fact that Trump is 77 years old and this is no longer 2016) will be a deciding factor during the 2024 POTUS elections.

They don't use health or age barrier because if these have been effective, there could have been many of them who wouldn't be qualified for such race base on their age or health status, as regarding the health, let's lay more emphasis on it this way, if any of the candidates have an health impairment, they will not publicly announce such because they believe it will be an hindrance towards thier ambition, they had prefer to go silent about it untill they arrived the position after winining election, we can gamble and stake on any of them in this regards.
1357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guilty of promising not to gamble for specific days but back next day on: July 01, 2023, 10:13:05 AM
At some point, in guilty before I was able to make a huge winnings; those wins took me time again before gambling because, of course, it's ideal not to be greedy in this kind of entertainment, or else you will lose most of your money. Before I came back again to play gambling, I said to myself that's enough for a month, but the joke came right there when I had extra money I tried my luck again to play of course keep hoping to win at the end, I lose that capital and take me now to stop gambling for a while and take time again when I feel confident to play.

Maybe some of us have been found making vain promises concerning gambling and other things in life due to vain promises to later discover that we were unable to meet uo the conditions attached to the already spoken words, if we can do that to disappoint ourselves then how much much in doing that on others, we believe to have at a certain point in life some traces of weakness whereby we are vulnerable to, if you know yourself to fall under this same category or conditions then it's better not to engage promisng others when you have not achieved or arrived at the results first.
1358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: July 01, 2023, 09:28:59 AM
It is all about the matches that can be predicted easily makes the bets win. So, every league have got some difficulty, in every league there'll be top teams. When these top teams play against the small ones, we can easily predict the winner. This is possible with most of the Matches. Even here sometimes the underdog wins, which is the luckiest thing for the gamblers who always prefer to go against the winning odds. Mostly Tennis matches can be predicted easily, but in recent leagues young players disappointment with their performances.

What makes us win is not really about the leagues because that's just a name or title that combines the teams altogether, it has much to do with our individual abilities and gambling experience, what we know about bettings and the exper we had in dealing with gambling games matters alot also, if you choose the best league of them all but didn't have the knowledge on how to gamble and win by advantage of the knowledge in them, we may not win except for games we only experience luck while betting or playing them.
1359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: July 01, 2023, 09:08:08 AM
The answer is really simple: Keep controlling your gambling budget and never get addicted playing casino games aka slots. Sports betting is better than casino games since impatient person can lose everything on additive slots due to being incompetent. I personally suggest not playing for few months and that person will never feel that urge to deposit since that feeling is hidden in our psychology. Just my 2 cents.

The thought and willingness will keep coming to stop but the actions required to put a stop will be lacking because it's not just what is that easy to do without applying force, discomfort and being practical in it, just as you've said mate, having the opportunity to abstain from anything that could increase your proximity to gambling should be totally avoided, when we block and deny ourselves from every possible source to gambling, it will become an inevitable consequence that we cannot do without compliance to the conditions involved.
1360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet on live game or while game hasn't started yet? on: July 01, 2023, 08:51:58 AM
Most of the time when I prefer to go with the underdog my choice will be live betting, because during the match we'll get better odds so that the bet amount can be minimised and our luck can be tried. This at times brings luck and in such a stance I've won @10 odds, but those are very minimal bet amount. Other than this when the match is in critical situation, where any of the team could win I prefer making bets which will have high chance of wins.

Or maybe sometimes we lately found ourselves betting on games we didn't planned for due to some certain conditions arising that warrant for doing such, they may actually include friends influence, quick opportunity, set up match and personal desires that could help us plan the game we right before it begins, yet we still have to be dependent of luck to crown every effort made, the odds can also be an advantage in playing the bet right before the match begin and this is very common to all gamblers playing sport bettings in gambling.
