I wouldn't compare being "employed" to "trading". Employment takes mostly your time away and not your money (and even if there was, it'd only be spent on daily expenses like transportation and food), trading is completely different. It's a zero-sum game.  You have to have something you can lose before you gain something, in this case, money.

Anw on the topic of NFT and Bitcoin, they're different. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, to simplify, it's a type of money you can use like how you use say USD (or whatever local currency you use). Emphasis on "like" since they still have differences. NFT's are like a "token" that certifies ownership. Just imagine it as a type of deed for that certain object, in most cases right now, it's for a piece of art.

I mean if the goal was to make money, you wouldn't exactly be in casinos. Heck sports bets are probably better in comparison to casinos if you want to make any money related to gambling. Though for those that do gamble, I believe insights would only help in sports gambling in the long run, generally you wouldn't need to bother when it comes to casino types of games. Kinda agree really with the idea of the best decision being to just not gamble at all.

Impulsive actions brought about by us being able to actually do said actions, but unable to stand the possible repercussions. After all, the result often only causes problems later on down the line and not really at the heat of the moment. I'd actually hope for casinos to get a statistic of how much players usually play and after x amount (the amount that they deem to be worth of note), the casino would lock the account down to let the player cooldown. Could be an optional thing but I'd much rather be a forced thing.

Hi! Ranked up to Hero yesterday, and would like a spot if one becomes available. Already updated my signature. Thanks!

I mean, can't he? Is he supposed to share a good gambling strategy whenever he posts a good win? I don't think he needs to do so. I'd honestly not judge or criticize him or anyone who posts a big win like this, I'd just congratulate them and be off my way (congrats op btw).

Bragging in itself isn't actually wrong imo, heck that's basically what people do every time something good happens, pretty much what social media did to us but besides that, the point is that's just something of a natural in the current society imo. Heck even without social media I reckon people would go off and brag to people they know. The internet just made it possible to spread it to a wider amount of people.

More Bitcoin. Outside of that, I'm looking at AI projects since they're all the boom right now, still waiting to see whether the hype is short-lived or not, AI actually went out of my tracking window at around the end of the year last year. Hoping there are some legit projects out there since AI, in general, has grown well above what it showed when it revealed itself at first around the middle of the pandemic period iirc? Other than those two well I don't have any plans yet, 2025 is still pretty far. I have my bags with Solana and Matic right now.

I'd say don't expect much, maybe a slight fluctuation when Shibarium releases but not something big or market-breaking. I reckon it should be higher than your entry price, heck I think the price then in your entry and the price now is just about the same, so I think it's fine to just hold it and wait to see if you can take profit with the release. A 16x increase in it's current price is actually a dream, OP, I reckon you should stop imagining stuff like that. You're probably better off investing in Bitcoin and some other big altcoins if you can take profit before any big chances happen.

I reckon it's because you use more chances of winning (and losing) in the partial instead of the bulk one? It's the standard idea of the greater the risk the greater the profit, but the lower the risk the lower the profit. The first one pretty much gives you a chance of winning big in a short time while the latter goes slow and steady. Either way they both have their pros and cons, and I mostly don't mind them now that I think about it.
I mostly go mixed, whatever way I like it on that session really, mostly partial though since I like to play crash slowly (which was my go to game when I often play, I'm into sports gambling right now).

I guess at this point paying with tokens just screams their ineligibility to hire proper ways/methods to actually create a proper bounty program. Or, they just follow the usual standards, which should've been rather noticeable and isn't really that effective anymore. And to be fair, project teams/devs would much rather pay their own token instead of real money since it opens up the idea that they aren't really giving up anything in exchange for the service people provide until further time, and in most cases members are just people who spam create accounts with a few people actually just being behind those accounts instead of the intended goal of having multiple people spread it out.

At this point, both managers and participants just try to outwit each other where managers don't want to pay more if they can, and participants trying to hog the rewards for themselves.

Even with online casinos they don't give you cash directly, they instead offer you opportunities to earn cash instead by offering bonus spins and whatnot. It's a non-existent thing at the time they give it out, and even if you use it, it only has a small chance of becoming something that actually exists. That's just how marketing works imo. As for brick-and-mortar bonuses, I've said it before in my previous post, it's simply partnerships and the like I think, they work together in a way that brings more profit than expenditures.

Wouldn't it simply take into account randomness via human medium? I mean provably fair was only used in online since we couldn't exactly see the process behind finding the result, say the shuffling and checking of the table in poker.

It's because Twitter exists, and people, for some reason, treat it as a legitimate "news" feed. And, well, teams just pretty much abuse that and hire influencers who would promote their project. If you know Coffeezilla, he recently did a video about how he hired a Twitter influencer to promote his own fake NFT, and the influencer didn't even look at the contract or the project itself properly, he just went ahead and did it. It's why I never use any of my social media for news, I just use it to follow hobby-related stuff. 

I reckon the internet just killed the way people used to methodologically study something, or outright ignore it if they don't know jack about it. Now most people are filled with half-baked knowledge about stuff.

I'd actually avoid the topic of relating gambling to religion, after all, I highly doubt there's a religion out there that has a positive recognition of it. At most, they allow it due to modernization but in the past, they were probably against it. And I can't blame religion for only looking at one side of things, that's just how religion goes imo.

I'd agree to how gambling brought a LOT of losers and a few winners, but at the end, that's the result of us wanting to gamble, and not because gambling existed. The act of "gambling" in itself already exists with some of our everyday decisions, so saying that it brought more "bad" than good is kind of just wrong, since it only takes into account the gambling activity that relates money.

Don't buy NFT's. Easy as that. Might as well just invest in idk, Bitcoin if you really wanted to, or anything else really that seems like a good investment. All of the new projects out there are just hyped stuff, and all the good ones (whether by the result of hype or not) are already priced at sky-high prices and aren't really worth the investment. Ofc, if you were legitimately buying NFT's as a collection owner then go ahead and buy whatever you want then. 

I guess 7 seconds was within the time frame where the casino was waiting from the time you placed your bet to the time they think it's okay to assume that it was a proper prediction. I reckon there's a rule out there that should have that specific time frame or something, never really tried live betting so I'm not sure. Besides, Stake is a pretty big company, I don't think a 7-second delay would be something due to their site. As for it being a network lag, well, if that were truly the case and stake didn't have a freeze time (or you were already past it) I'd say they still won't honor the bet. They didn't receive the request after all.

It's simply the difference between online and brick-and-mortar casinos. Besides, said bonuses are actually planned out, with the casino themselves receiving partnerships of sorts with said hotels, restaurants, shows, you name it. So they profit in both ways, online, I doubt people would be willing to redeem said bonuses even if they were made available simply because that's just how "online" casinos work. And even if said bonuses were described as "hard to win", well, that's just how slots go. I doubt they'd add a modifier that lets people win more with bonuses.

As for adding more, I fully agree with how they need more variety of sorts.  But unless one casino steps up to do so, I doubt anyone would actually follow suit.

I agree. I'd say the only reason gambling was even considered as a vice is because of how majority of the portrayed image of gambling to the public is addictiveness due to greed, which leads to their own destruction. Sadly enough, people who do know what they're doing aren't really being portrayed enough to the public so as to reveal what gambling can actually be.

It's not that it's bad or anything that people gamble to win money, but going past a certain limit, just like in any other activity can bring about negative consequences. It's more apparent in gambling since it directly involves money.

I don't think you can find anyone giving a solid answer without the project in question. After all, a project can still succeed, even if the chances were rather minimal with the description you set OP. I think you can just study the initial setup and see what happens. I honestly wouldn't think of another LUNA happening, at least when thinking of possible investments since you'd probably end up assuming all of them to end up like LUNA. If you're that afraid then just stay away from Defi for now and invest in some other opportunities.

I'd bet as much as I could, possibly even calling the assistance of friends/families that can place a bet in my place. If that ain't possible then just get what I probably can really. Ofc realistically speaking odds of what someone said happening 100% is close to nothing, so I hardly doubt such an opportunity would ever come. Unless I was the one who will orchestrate the entire thing, in which case every secret is available to me and  would basically give me enough guarantee to bet big.

Even then though I wouldn't dare say that the match fix I'm doing will result in a 100% win, after all, unexpected events can always occur.

I'd actually say a person thinking of playing for fun would never think of doing it to win more, that's just contradictory. And no, I also don't think it actually helps, maybe a bit, but not that much. I've always played for fun without minding wins or losses all the time but I rarely get instances of winning more than losing. It's mostly breaking even at times really.

And besides, it's not just the "not having fun" part that could stress you out. Even you being rather competitive in games like poker just for the sake of being competitive ( which, honestly gets brought up depending on your character and not whether you're intentionally having fun or not) is enough to stress you up as well.

HTML CSS and JS would be most of what you would use, especially if you're using servers like nodejs. You won't necessarily touch PHP if you want to, but if that's included in the study path you'd take in coding then you can do so as well. There are a lot of popular frameworks out there that you can use to make it easier to build websites, just try to build a foundation for coding first and be able to read the documentation for frameworks (I suggest React or Angular)

It's not dynamic pages but asynchronous pages instead. As for using ajax, it's more of a technique per se, not a library, plus it's an old method that has been generally replaced by "fetch". They basically do the same thing but most modern libraries use the fetch implementation instead.

Education doesn't necessarily bring knowledge after all, even setting up a foundation can be done easily now with the internet being so accessible to everyone, though having that educational background does bring about a solid foundation on which companies can take as the basis to hire you. It's a sort of connection that boosts you up, unlike when you only have the skills involved but you don't have anything to spring you up toward these companies.

Ofc if possible I'd probably just choose money, I mean, if I have enough anyone should be able to live without having to spend an hour working, maybe even hire people to help you create opportunities for passive income.
