Big names, good records. Would be exciting as we all know, especially die hard faans out there. Charlo, who is undefeated but rested for years versus a man who jist got into one. Both has enough power to knockout their opponents but I guess I'd go with Canelo on this one. It is not really a handicap on not being able to fight in the fmring for a year or more but alvarez has just edge with experience. Age on the other hand could be a factor but Canelo has provem himself countless times. A bias to alvarez in polls would be obvious but it will just be decided once the bell rings. It is either Charlo's hunger or Alvarez' pride, given the 'beef' which was heaten up recently.

We encounter different categories of sports bettors every day, both online and offline. However, some of them express unrealistic expectations regarding their potential winnings.
The first category is composed of sports bettors with a $1000 bankroll who hope to make $100,000 by the end of the year. In what universe do they think this is possible? Such expectations are unrealistic and only occur in the lottery, not in sports betting. Even in sports betting, it would be a chance occurrence, happening only once in every 100 bets. A more realistic expectation would be to aim for increasing their bankroll.
The second category consists of individuals seeking guaranteed wins and fixed bets or matches. These individuals are frequently seen on platforms such as Twitter, Telegram, Discord, and others where sports betting is discussed. They are often the first to express their desire for guaranteed games and fixed matches/bets, believing they will surely win. Unfortunately, these individuals are easily scammed due to scammers taking advantage of their gullibility.
What other categories of unrealistic sports betting expectations have you encountered?
No matter what category that is, as long as it is associated with certainty, it would already be unrealistic. As we all know, gambling won't give anyone a hundred percent chance of winning. Having high hopes no matter what assurance they are having, would still be uncertain. Even with fixed matches; it is money we are talking about, things still has tendencies of ups and downs once irregularities with what was set, is broken. Perhaps an organization created a fixed match but a bigger group paid for results to again be flipped, now what? Due to these tendencies it would be much better to be cautious with the amount in order to prevent regrets. |

Not by a very big win but if many players would win big time. This has something to do with fund management for a gambling platform. Results are thru algorithms and if most if not all players would win on a single day, then there might be a problem with the system but by anyhow, the online casino should be responsible enough to pay those winnings whether it would result to bankruptcy. It is very possible that can happen to a new casino.
But the chance that a punter would win a huge amount of money to run the casino down is very low. As the gambling site is becoming known, more people join to gamble and the more profit they make and the chance that this would happen becoming low.
We should still keep in mind that we should not totally trust a need casino or other gambling sites that are new, we should gamble with far lower amount of money on such casino until the casino is gaining better reputation and having huge online traffic.
Would rarely happen for sure. Gambling sites are paying huge amount of money to run their platform and they are simply paying professionals to handle things and avoid such bad scenarios. Also, before a platform is released to public, there'll be and should be a pilot testing if they are really serious of prolonging the existence of their site, not unless they are after with bad intentions toward their players right from the start. |

Congratulations for launching your signature campaign. I noticed this thread from the signature campaign thread in the service board. The nature of the project interests me, I decided to meet the Ann for details of the project but I am surprised I met a plan text without images as an ANN thread.
I know people must have suggested this to you, consider hiring a designer to make you a good Ann thread. It will wear your project a better look.
Thanks. I will. This is just a casual one, You should do this ASAP it should be the first one to come before the signature campaign because many will be directed to this thread out of curiosity, and they want to see something good on your thread, something that they can take seriously and the admins or representative are professionals on their introduction. Yes, it will somewhat add to the credibility of the project and its campaign if the platform will be introduced formally especially in this forum wherein mist of the people are ware that there are projects which are just solely fraudalent. As we all know, if it would be run properly, it would also be safe from scam accusations. I did not still visit the link provided by OP but obviously it is a lottery gambling platform and it happened that I'm not into such concept. But for sure there will be gamblers to be hooked up into this if things would run smoothly from its campaign to its release. And if it really is a lottery platform, I would still advice to add up games in order for the players to not just be bored out of a single game. |

Once you're addicted into something, you'd be aware of things such as its consequences but that is different from knowing the downsides. You'll just be too hooked up with a speficic behavior or habit as part of an impulse to do it on a daily basis. They all aware.
But, it's because of the addiction and they still do it. It's not easy mate, fighting addiction need a lot time for cure-team and support from the family. Without a support family, they're struggling.
It's really hard, for the case addiction.
Aware is different from knowing, for those people who are confused. As I've mentioned, knowing is having idea about a particular thing but with deeper understanding. In the case of addiction, not only in gambling, they know what they are doing but they cannot explain why do they do it too often. They know the consequences but they cannot help it 'coz of the 'satisfaction' they get from doing a repetitive behavior. This is why professional help should be always advised if you know someone who is having addiction 'coz they won't have the initiative to do so, most of the time. |

....take a look at this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5456913.0 it was creatd yesterday admist of all the complaints of such type of thread and it already has more than one page yet we're complaining of too much addiction threads. If we are not going to do anything about it then we can as well stop complaining. Checking the OP of that post he did not post on topics that concern flooding of topic about gambling addiction, he may not be aware of the existence of these threads or he just ignored it so we cannot tell if he agreed about too much discussion about gambling addiction. Or does he abide by my opinion that I voted that the topic of gambling should be minimized but if there are unique topics about gambling addiction it's okay to create one. The topic that he created may not be unique but it has different variations from what I've read here in gambling discussion so my take is the thread is good. There are just threads with the same topic, but still have different thoughts yet both are making sense. I guess it is because the accounts which would reply, are different,creating different discussion idea. Indeed sometimes it is quite weird but I got used to it since I've been here in this forum for years. To compare, nothing's different with speculation section having the topic of "what do you think of BTC price this year" which is for sure a more cliché topic but still do work out and exist. You may not reply to the topic itself but there'll be some points from other users on the same topic, that you might learn or go in contrast with. As long as things are still making sense, I don't have any problem with it after all. |

A situation occurred today in my locality, I have some guys working for me today and suddenly I hard them battling with an issues and when I get close to them to know what exactly the problem is, and I asked the guy who look strange to me since I am meeting him for the first time and not a worker on the site what his business and why he is distracting the workers from work.
Then the guy narrated his case to be and he said, that one of the workers came to his betting shop the yesterday to play some visual, that at first the guy came with ₦1,000 in my local currency to make the bets and along the line, he existed the balance but as a regular customer, the agent decided to allow him at further on credits and in all he accumulated a total debt of ₦8,000 because he lost all the bets and since that yesterday he has been on the run from the gambling agent until he traced him to the site today.
So when I wanted to judge the case and possible settlement, I query the casino agent how can you allow a customer to gamble on credit to the tune of 8k Knowing fully well that the gambler only has a 1k balance which already existed?
Also what is the probability that the gambler will ever return after owning such debt in the betting shops, note the gambler's daily pay is 2k as a helper on the site, so he has to work for 4 days to be able to meet that debt that is if he doesn't make any other expenses.
Question is:
What is the possibility of the betting agent getting his money soon/considering the gambler's low-income earnings?
Both became greedy. As others have mentioned, the gambler still played an amount even if it is out of his capacity to pay while the betting agent allowed him to do so inspite of the amount the player have asked at first. Both has to face the burden and I guess it would be more of the agent's fault because in the first place the gambler won't lose that much if he did not give him more. The gambler, being greedy and frustrated just pushed his luck, as what normal gamblers do on a daily basis but with different risk tolerance. At the end of the day, the agent won't have anything to make the gambler pay if he has no wager written on paper, that won't be entertained in any court 'coz of lack of proof if incase and even if he do have it, things will still have conflict I guess. |

We've all suffered our fair share of setbacks. What is truly important, though, is how we respond to our worst betting losses and the lessons we learn from them. I believe we can turn these setbacks into profits with favorable outcomes by reflecting on our prior mistakes, implementing solid betting practices, and embracing a disciplined attitude. Here are my five most essential takeaways from my worst sports betting loss.
Analyze your losses objectively: Take the time to go over your worst losses with a clear and objective mind. Determine the elements that contributed to the losses, such as poor decision-making, emotional reactions, or a lack of research.
Accept responsibility for your losses: It is critical to accept responsibility for your betting losses. Blaming outside influences or luck will keep you from learning key lessons and enhancing your future betting strategy.
Identify patterns and common errors: Look for repeating patterns or errors that contributed to your losses. These include chasing losses, betting rashly, overestimating your knowledge, and failing to practice basic bankroll management.
Bankroll management strategy: Proper bankroll management is critical for long-term gaming success. Set up a separate budget for betting and make staking limits, such as restricting bets to a certain percentage of your total bankroll.
Disciplined betting: Maintaining a profitable betting strategy necessitates discipline. Even if you are feeling losses or emotions, stick to your set plans and avoid making premature selections.
Prioritize quality over quantity: Rather than placing a large number of bets, focus on discovering high-quality betting opportunities. Conduct comprehensive research, analyze statistics, and place bets that have a better probability of winning.
By incorporating these elements into your betting strategy, you may be able to recover from your worst gambling losses. Remember to approach gambling with a disciplined mindset, constantly learn from your experiences, and adjust your techniques as needed.
I gotta agree with discipline, sense of responsibiloty, and analyze losses. Patterns and common error I guess won't work on a daily basis. Patterns won't work accurately simply because this is "gambling". Indeed having a basis on your bet would give you confidence of it but that won't make winning certain. On the other hand, bankroll and sense of responsibility are the same on my perspective. But the idea and all are good. I'd say these are applicable not only in sportsbetting but also with other gambling games. And most of the time, as I have observed, mistakes happen concerning discipline and responsibility with betting. Given that winning won't come in an instant, a gambler should be precautionary with the amoint he would engage to atleast lessen the burden of the negative outcome. |

Interesting how much they make per casino, or how much of the winnings % stays in the streamers balance.
I doubt with the winning's percentage. They are more likely paid through an offer alone. What they do is to just boost a platform's popularity and not with its creation. But that amount would be more likely huge even if it is not on percentage. Interesting list to follow although I don't know majority of them and only familiar with few name in a list but atleast its good to know thag there are so many streamers to follow. So let see if they add up some good context and truly can entertain their watchers.
Since if they are just the same with the other influencers who are just into hype just to promote their casino their supporting then maybe its just a waste of time to watch them.
They're basically doing it for money and that won't be surprising to know that they are just doing their job and not really gambling with initiative. I do know some as well but I only watch them whenever they are playing games on my interest to atleast give me an insight whether to actually try the game or to avoid it. They're somewhat informative on my end but there are just influencers who are not making any sense at all. Gambling advertisement is quite on a "loose" nowadays. Whether it is a bad thing or not, most of the influencers won't mind knowing the answers. |

It's been years and decades since oppression and discimination across genders. Economies are developing and I think our mindsets as well should follow the adjustments. We should accept the fact that both sexes has the capability to perform tasks and function as an employee. Some are even better than the counterpart gener or sex. It does depend on the individual and never their characteristics. Also enough minding things outside your concern. If other people are facing problems in your perspective, then let them be. None of my thread have any elements of hatred, I choose my words carefully and I even go as far as making sure I would not get carried away by narratives and begin to talk bad about woman.
In facts I love woman, and treat them with respect just like a gentleman, I do not ever once beat a woman in my entire life.
However I mainly dislike some married guys and their daily routine, due to them being the breadwinner to the family, they have to go out and hunt for foods, obviously they have to go out and fight another man like me, and get my foods, this is something I dislike, but I do not hate them, because since the dinosaur age, men has been designed to kill each other to survive, it is just as barbaric as it sound.
finally, make peace!
Your title says you do not hate "woman generally" and then you go and say that you dislike married guys. So pertaining to men? You are confusing me. can you be more clear? Because from what I read you hate it when they get food from you or something and that's what men do that they hunt. So what are you really trying to say? Quite setting a standard supporting the claim regarding gender discrimination. It sounded like he hated the idea that married men puts food in the table which sonehow creates the idea that women should also do so. Bottomline here is that, we do all have different set ups on our households. As long as things do work in such way, then that should not be a problem. |

I'd say yes due to FUD. Binance is simply the largest exchanger and its downfall would really result huge market price downfall due to large investors who would sell their holdings to avoid their assets to be eaten by the exchanger itself. Downside of centralized exchangers wherein investors are not having full control of their holdings. Even if it is not a total downfall, things would still be the same 'coz what happened with FTX would be more likely associated with this possible instance. And if we would go back with the mentioned problem, the market prices fell during that time, therefore it left an impression causing people to panic as well. -snip
But apart from all that, right now I don't think that Binance will really fall because Binance has its own way of solving every problem and developing their exchange to be better for the future.
I also don't believe that Binance will collapse just because of the SEC's baseless accusations because Binance is not cheating and is not as bad as FTX did. But in the distant future, it is difficult to say with certainty that they will continue to exist and develop, anything is possible. I'm still using Binance, but I can't rule out the possibility that it will crash in the next bear seasons, but not this time. Binance can be trusted because of their reputation, but we can't guarantee they will stay the same in the long term as things can change over time. I expect everyone to treat Binance as just an exchange, so it's not a safe depository for their assets in the long term. If Binance completely does down, it will affect Bitcoin price but that's all it will do. I don't believe it will go below $16k though. You are underestimating the influence of Binance, I even believe that $5k will be easy if Binance really crashes, and it will take us at least 3 to 5 years to recover everything. The dominance of Binance is unprecedented, no exchange has done this to date, not even Mt.gox. You're right, and it's even harder to avoid a big crash if Binance goes down forever. If in the future Binance crashes, then an adverse impact on the bitcoin price could occur spontaneously. People will turn this case into a lousy FUD and will continue to drive the bitcoin sell numbers even lower. If Luna, FTX and some other cases can affect the volatility of the bitcoin price, then of course it is true that bitcoin will also have a bad impact when Binance goes down especially about the price. Fortunately, Binance managed to prove itself just recently about the lawsuit. Something expected for the largest exchanger and for sure they won't allow its downfall to just happen in an instant and that easily, they are expected to fight it out. They have the money to do so, in the first place. |

If you think like that, then I would think the opposite of what you are saying. Indeed, Bitcoin has become a fairly good investment vehicle with its popularity which is not at all doubted by many people, moreover they have also seen how the adoption of Bitcoin continues to grow in several countries in the world today. But alternative creators are also very numerous now and some alternatives are also not bad to have for everyone although the first investment option should also be considered in Bitcoin.
Because Bitcoin has become an investment asset that is more suitable for the long term, apart from that Bitcoin must also be placed in the first choice in terms of trading because there are many people who can still benefit from it until now. And for further choices such as alternative coins, they are only more suitable for short-term investments. So not everyone who comes here is for investment, but there are many other things that everyone can do apart from just investing and one of them is promoting the products they have developed so far although the success rate is still unknown.
I think it is obvious that bitcoin is a long term one and not too many people realize this quickly, they lose years trying to get rich quick and they end up realizing they can't do that and they have to keep on working towards long term holding in order to make it work then it would be even more amazing. I think people are getting closer to that during bear markets, they realize that they need to hold and they can't just get rich overnight, but during bull markets there are very few rare cases where people actually do get rich, they buy something very early on and it goes up super high and they get rich, so they keep thinking that they can do it. There were a few projects my friends were interested in and that mattered, like Avax, one of my friends got into it probably as one of the first ever people to do so, and it went up, so they he got richer. Hence bull makes them think this is common and possible. I agree with the misconception caused by impressions created towards this industry. Rewards won't come in an instant. If you're into long term holding, you're more likely to survive ups and downs in the market than short term investors who are often the victim of wrong DCAs and price actions. Market moves in a very unpredictable way. Sometimes it would be better to ignore every changes in the price 'coz in the long run, its market value is continuously increasing in an inconsistent way. Altcoins are the tokens which are better for short term runs, problem is picking the right one given how huge the number is, for altcoins. How high will the market price be? As we all know it is hard to determine. Even if there's an estimated bullrun next year, no one can accurately tell how will the price would really be unless it already happens. |

To answer this question- nope. I am not tired at all from waiting due to the significance of its value in the market. Just like the trend that happened a few years ago with cryptocurrency, there will become a day where its price would suddenly skyrocket and everyone would benefit from that jump.
I am anticipating that in the year 2024, a massive price increase would happen during the fork. Following the past trends, every fork increases its price on the market significantly. In addition, that is the purpose of HODLing- you wait until its price increases on your initial investment and you reap the rewards on your investment!
Remember that there is no easy way to earn money and to profit from your investments. We are already blessed to have this cryptocurrency earn relatively faster compared to any kind of investment available in the market currently.
To people who've been years in this industryz waiting is not a big thing to do anymore. It would be better waiting than to lose profit in an instant. The market prices are volatile in nature making it hard to create an acxurate market prediction. You may for the right entry price but FOMO could take place sometimes. And if you happened to make an early entry, then you'd be left with no choice but to just hold no matter what. The market price has only two movements; either it goes up or down. If you have the patience, you won't lose for sure, just be prepared to hold for a long period of time. But right now, the market price is way too low from ATH which means any price points would be a good entry point BUT for long term holders. |

You don't know the owner, but what makes you sure to deposit bitcoin to exchange?.
what makes you sure that your Bitcoin arrived safely and was not taken away by the owner?
I always thought that,
same as banks, I don't want to save it for long time, because banks often go bankrupt, and the owner run overseas.
Knowing who the owner is, won't be enough to guarantee that your funds would be safe. As we all know, nothing regulates this industry which means all of our funds are at risk. But why do we still continue? 'coz such thing as massive rugpull on exchanges, happens in few instances. What gives us comfortability with using platforms in this industry, is the trust other users are giving . But you have options, if you are jist investing then choose hardware wallets or decentralized exchanges. The downside is that you'd have no one to run into if you have made a mistake with transaction. It is okay to be conscious of these things. We are not getting free momey in the first place. But try to lessen your worries. This industry is already a decade long existing. |

You nay ride the wave. If you are trading, then for sure you will understand what I'm saying. FOMOs and FUDs are innevitable simply because of the large population. We don't think as one and move as one, the difference itself is the main reason. What I mean with riding the wave is making a predicrion out of those negative belief. If you're a typical investor and an FUD happen, you wouldn't want to invest at that very moment. Wait to see if there will be an impact or whether the market prices go up or down. There are a lot of people who change their minds. It's probably not the right time for your opponent to do so. A person who is always ready to say that he is right without listening to the arguments of others really looks like a fool; this was also said by Churchill. Therefore, do not argue with him; let him have his own opinion; this is his right. I do not think that Bitcoin will lose much interest from those who are not interested in it; rather, the opposite is true. Therefore, move your line; time always puts everything in its place.
I agree, besides, not all people are dumb to not verify information on the internet. People now a day are getting smart and keen on verifying information comparing it to other sources. So let the person spread FUD, people who are smart enough will always verify the correctness of the post. When they find out that the post is maliciously diverting people not to believe or invest in Bitcoin, they will avoid that person like a plague. So @OP just chill and relax, there is no need to have a debate to a person that lacks basic knowledge about BTC. Well to most of the things, innocent ones are more prone with such ideas. But we cannot blame people who panic during these times. First of all it is their money which is at risk. Next,he just lacks knowledge therefore he should approach to other people in that field and ask for consultation such as with how OP did. |

Depends on the situation but for me it is like putting a gasoline to a fire. If he lose from his business, then I guess accumulating funds should be prioritized. I myself have been there. I had a small business before and unfortinately, things ended up bad. I applied to be an employee and when I got back with savings, I started to invest in this technology. I know how bigger the risk is, in crypto industry. So I made sure I would be able to sustain my daily expenses. I'm not saying that this is the right thing to do but it worked well for me. For several days now my friend has been asking me for some advice. Telling me that he wants to invest some of his money, telling me where to invest it. My friend works in a private company and he has saved some money from there. With that money they went into business in a four person partnership, initially he made some profit in the business then he suffered some financial loss. My friend knows that I am involved with Bitcoin. He got some ideas about Bitcoin from me. So he wants to invest money in Bitcoin. I didn't tell him anything about the risk of investing. Since he wants to invest, should I advise him to invest?
Giving financial advice is never a good idea. People will blame you if anything goes wrong. If it's your friend, I think you can spend some time to tell him about Bitcoin. You can say that it's a new kind of money compared to how things have been done throughout human civilization, but that it's also only legal tender in a couple of countries, whereas many others treat it as an asset. You can also point to a price chart to show that Bitcoin seems to grow over time, but also easily loses well above half of its value in a bear market, which can last for years. It's also worth mentioning that there's never any guarantee that Bitcoin will truly recover from a particular bear market. Investing in Bitcoin should be a responsible personal decision of a person who understands the risk. Sharing idea is not a bad thing. No one to blame in the first place 'coz no matter what advice you get, it depends solely to yourself whether to do it or not. Decision would still be on your end and if things would go bad, it will still be because you decided to follow other's advice, therefore you took part with things in the first place. |

Ofcourse to those people who are winning, they'd say yes, profit in gambling can sustain a daily living. But if it's for the majority, gambling will never be advised to be a reliable source of income simply because of the fact that winning is not certain. You won't always win the game. And for me, even if you have won a decent amount, it will still not validate gambling as a reliable soirce of profit. If you've been in this industry for years for sure you know that there are days wherein you'd lose continuously, sometimes for a whole week. Your odds are better going all in at once and being done with it. Over many repeated attempts, ie gambling for a living, the law of averages would have you at a guaranteed loss over time given you flat bet on a game with a negative RTP (which is to say, any game you play outside of counting cards on BJ).
Agreed. What you described is yolo gambling which is the best way to gamble in my opinion. It's scary to invest everything at once, but it's the best way to beat the house edge in the short-term and save time too. I won decent profits so far thanks to this particular gambling strategy. This high risk, high reward strategy is not for the weak-hearted. Having a huge capital would give you bigger chances to win but chance won't mean any certainty or guarantee of ending the day victoious. You could win, anyone of us can but if it is overall sustainability, it would still be a no. |

Hello everyone, I have a new question,
In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain events?
Definitely, especially if you are really interested in this technology. It is where you may found future projects, people with the same interest, opportunities and all which are about this industry. As to other people, indeed there are ways to learn such as browing the internet and seeking for reliable sites but seeing and encountering it in person would aleast give you ease from doing so. Also, projects in these events are still in progress which would give you insight and advantage obviously if you will find it a good project. Also with meeting people who are into this blockchain, you may learn from them especially those who have been in this industry for years. |

I really wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if bitcoin price tests the low support below $20k again in 2023 (but I'm sure it won't). Even though bitcoin is still trading above $24k at the moment, the possibility of a drop cannot be ignored. I don't think prices will hold well over the next few months, so of course I need to set up a budget to plan my purchases and build a strong portfolio.
The idea that you won't be surprised if the price tests the $20k mark but assured that it won't are in contrast with one another. We all know how unpredictable this market is. The price could move in any direction, in any market price point and anytime, as long as demand supports that movement. We are just around half of this year and there are many things that may happen still. The anticipated bullrun is believed to happen next year, meaning, a price correction may still happen if anything related to this industry would pull the prices down whether it is just an FUD or not. Nothing controls the market price aside from demand, and demand happens to be a varibale being affected by many things. But no matter ehat happens, best thing is to just hold. In order to do this, manage the risk on investing an amount because it would allow you to stretch you tolerance with bearish market patterns. |

But recently I have read a lot of topics as regards to gambling (addictions) and it negative effects on individuals and how we have warn against it, but at this time I am beginning to think that we are focusing too much on gambling addiction rather than employing ways to avoid addiction but at the same time gamble and have fun to the fullest.
The topics and discussion about gambling addiction is becoming too much and too often to the point that most newbie may likely get scared away from gambling which will not be ok for the casino revenue generation so at this point I am force to ear my view of this topic of gambling addictions, becoming too much in this board.
Or what do you think?
Depends on how you would take it 'coz for me, that's the harsh reality behind gambling. Gambling addiction topics are simply and should be a warning to those gamblers who are not aware of what they are doing. Indeed it should be enjoyed by players but that's not how this industry works. People are gambling not for enjoyment but to get profit from doing so. There's even this mentality that gambling could be a shortcut to being rich and such. Personally, would you encourage someone to gamble? I won't. We do not need to do so. This is not a sinple game wherein you can invite as much as you want. Money is involved here and we all know how important that pice of paper is. Such idea should be an enough warning that we ain't just playing here. If you get too involved, you might reach the point that you'd be too frustrated to play to get back with what you have lost and this includes borring huge amount or selling some of your properties. |
