Since all of us here are into gambling its really nice to have this thread where we can share our sentiments and listen to problem shared by other individual. For sure there's a lot to learn from people different experiences so hopefully many people will not be shy to share up their story since this could help many gamblers to change maybe on what wrong doings they do and correct it while its so early.

Schemes are made to help people in the first place, its not their fault that some sub-economies come up from that scheme in order for some more people to profit like mortgage and associated housing market.

I dont understand why you are linking spending of money with banks - spending is your own choice, be it through a bank or through crypto. If you dont spend you dont get into the problem you speak of.

You can only get manipulated if you take the step, meaning the choice is yours to make. You could live on a simple TV or a simple car and avoid buying expensive clothes if you want to.

If you put your tinfoil hat on, and think in the terms that everything is this world is created to harm you, then obviously it seems that way. You need to stop taking that cheap weed mate.

Because maybe they are blaming banks for what economic hardship they are facing now and they think banks manipulate them that's why they came to that point. While the fact is if they could just use those credits given by the banks for sure they will never be in bad position and maybe gain something huge from it.

People need to realize the bright side about bank existence since they are there to help people to have capital on their business, but its just other people use their credits to buy their wants and that make their life hard especially if they can't pay all their debts anymore.

I don't know what's wrong with Davis, but he made a lot of mistakes and was just as bad as he was in game 2.
Game 4 Davis was more worse than what he did in Game 2 because last night, he was just shooting 30% on the field while in Game 2 he got 58% on the field while 100% in FT. Fortunately, enough there was LeBron who took the responsibility and had 20 rebounds which helps the team secure more balls in-order to gain chances in taking control of the game. And of course, Russell and Reaves also managed to deliver important shots in the game while Vanderbilt on their defense.

He's said that on interview that its really an off night for him offensively since even if he gets a clear shot still he missed it. But he focus defensively and he contributes a lot with that since he really performed in crucial minutes which Lakers really needed. The block on final minutes to Ja morant is a big momentum stopper to Grizzlies, they really work good together today since Russel and rest of the squad is doing good performance. 1 more game and Lakers will advance to next round so most provably Lakers will take this as the momentum is on their side.

* Over trading-- it's very important for a day trader to limit the number of trade he/she took in a day.
This is one of the reasons I was never profitable in trading. You will also get the impression that trading is simple as long as the setup entry is working. So, instead of being profitable, because you overtrade, the market recoups your earnings, and you may even lose money.

Most people can't monitor themselves when they trade, which is why they have many winning transactions but a negative port at the end of the month.


Many people hype up trading as it is so simple way to earn money that's why some people creates wrong impression about it.  But when you start to trade you realize how hard to gain profit with this especially when you are new and doesn't know what to do on certain movements happen in the market. To win on trades we shouldn't follow other doing that over trading since if we settle up for profits we already seeing for sure we may became a profitable trader in the long run.
1385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Politicians behind the development of gambling platform on: April 25, 2023, 12:19:06 PM
Do you think that government should have a rule or a law for election candidates not to have a franchise in any form of gambling, in fact, there are a lot of politicians who are operators of illegal small-town lotteries this is to accumulate funds they can use for election campaigns.

Congressman confirms past stint with e-sabong when it was not yet banned by gov’t

Yes it should be, but those politicians will not create nor pass a law regarding on prohibition on something like that since it benefits them towards the funds they needed on election days. What best thing to do about that situation is to see which of those politician is involve and don't vote them so that this activities will be stop, also vote for the right person who against this so that they can eliminate crimes and solve those pending cases which is related to this activities.

In every contest, every contender has the chance to win until the judges select the winners of the event. I believe what determining the winner of the contest is based on the judge's taste, culture, and background.
Winners would be chosen by the internal team, the art contest manager and if seriously, by constructive idea from engaged marketing parties. Like Roobet team want to run art contests to get some art works for marketing, they order it to the art contest manager, but they plan to use chosen art works on some parties. I believe that the third parties can have their own criteria as well opinion on what art works should be chosen as winners and used on their websites.

It's my guess but frankly, it is internal criteria of Roobet team and engaged parties, we should not engage about that as well as art contest participants. Except if the team want to hear our opinion.

There internal team which choose the winners of this contest have experience to what art criteria they are selecting on and maybe there are voting system happen to their side since its not easy to pick a winner for so many good submission posted by many artist here. And we can all see that all picked winners really deserve to take that placed or get those rewards because they really submit a quality arts which catch the attention of the judges of this contest. For sure we can see more from this and next to speculate on what will be the next theme of their next art contest.
1387  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Have you ever be afraid of holding? on: April 24, 2023, 01:56:34 PM
I want to make this very clear, in the crypto industry, if you can't hold, you can't be rich, secondly holding alt for too long is extremely dangerous for your money, if you want to invest, do it with bitcoin, most times you may loss the opportunity of making very good profit by holding too  long, that's why it very important as a good trader to always take profit, so that you won't be at the receive end at some point.

That's not always gonna the case, since there are times that those holdings are unintentionally done because there are times that people forget about their holdings but suddenly they remember to have it when they see the value spike. There are scenario that people do hold but unfortunately they cannot handle the bearish condition of the market and sell their holdings at much cheaper price.

So before thinking about doing it much better if you do some proper research to know the risk and to practice how you can handle it.
1388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why does It takes time for market to be bull on: April 24, 2023, 11:58:49 AM
Bitcoin market price fluctuating is the sweetest part of the business, because many people make money for any given direction as a cryptocurrency traders, which if Bitcoin move in one direction upwards most trader will be liquidated and some will be on the profits side with a bullish candle. In other words for investors, have to buy and hold by removing your mind from market manipulation, for sure Bull run we come up one day.

Agreed with these, you just have to make most of the recent trends so that you can gain some profit. Being adaptive is important so that your actions is based on the movements of the market . No cryptocurrency have a single way of going consistently high value since it is normal for it to make these movements as what we have seen in its entirety in terms of historical movements.

What's important thing there is you should never get affected easily on the news you are reading online because for that you can be easily manipulated by people if you let yourself digest all the fuds they feed to you. Its better to always listen to what is the current trend happening since it can give you huge advantage to gain more profit coming from people who do wrong decision like dumping their coins out of panic.

For now its hard to see a certain crypto will consistently goes up since correction will always occur so let always seek for indicator and possibly earn with those movements.

That at least reduces the risk that will be experienced in the future which is closely related to withdrawal later. Because the problem that I often hear is about withdrawals. Many people are trapped by this, so that in addition to harming themselves it is also detrimental to the casino. The reason is they don't hesitate to blame the casino when they have a real problem from their own fault.

I agree, having knowledge about how casino services is made and their policies and requirements will reduce the risk of a player breaching the casino platform's terms.  Thus some minute of thorough reading of terms can secure our account by avoiding any activity that the casino deemed illegal.
Reading for a few minutes even though we are lazy to do so is better than having to solve the problem because we did not read the terms and conditions. We will definitely be faced with debate if we contact the casino platform support. It's more complicated, of course, because we will be asked to provide proof, such as screenshots and others, it will take more time than reading the terms and conditions at the beginning. Nothing is instant in this world and we cannot force what we want to make it easy for us to visit the casino. As the saying goes, where the earth is stepped on there the sky is upheld.
Better to prevent than have to deal with violations of casino rules.
Like reading every casino rule that has been determined, sometimes people will be lazy to do this when they are too ambitious to gamble right away, but that mistake can result in gamblers accidentally breaking casino rules and ending in a debate between the casino and the gambler.
Actually it's not too difficult for gamblers to just read every prohibition that has been set by the casino and we only have to read a few minutes and after that we obey every rule.

This is what first thing to do before gamble out on your favorite casino since missing to read some important notification can cause us trouble since we might do some forbidden actions without knowing it if we skip to read up those important information. Maybe many are really lazy reading long text so I think its time for casinos to adjust and create video content about their TOS since maybe by this their clients will not have any excuse if they caught up violating and telling that they didn't read the rules that's why they encounter such issues. And this could save up their time explaining something to their clients and to other people.

Philly won with a strong game. Harden was unfairly kicked out and didn't play in the last quarter, but Maxey still filled that gap by playing well. Embiid should have been kicked out in my opinion. The referees keep making weird decisions. I think this series was over when it was 2-0, now it's 3-0 and the Nets have no chance. I said they played with weak opponents after the 2nd game, there were those who said that the Nets were too strong here, but we saw who was right.

Just show the depth of Philly again, no Harden and yet the Nets wasn't able to exploit that. I mean they are in the good lead even in the last minute of the game. But for some strange reasons, they can't score and then they didn't guard Maxey who took that 3 and that should be the dagger.

Dinwiddie try to drive and he was lucky that a call was made. But after that, Philly score easy and the Nets missed that shot.

I thought that they are going to take a win in this game as they are in control of the game and Joel Embiid is not moving great. Most likely he is suffering some injuries after this game.

Pretty amazing that Philly could win after that bizarre call on Harden.  Both sides were being unfairly refed though so at least is seemed fair in that regard.  Embiid got to show why he's an MVP candidate.  I think the Nets are done and probably shouldn't have been in the playoffs anyway with their roster.  It looks like the Clippers aren't far behind the Nets either.  With no Paul George and now it's looking like no Kawhi, I don't think they have a chance against the Suns.  Westbrook played as good as he could to keep them in the last game, but they're just outmatched.

Now it's even but not that literally even win it comes to standing because the Sixers are just one win away from sweeping the Nets and be the first team to advance in the second round. The Nets are good, I'd give them that because after the trade, they still managed to hold their position and still clinched a playoff spot, but the caliber of their players aren't that good against the other teams in the playoffs right now. I'd say that they are just lucky to be in the first round but that's it.

Somehow the result of their series is quite expected because sixers got a lot advantage compare to the young team of Nets. Maybe for now they are been drowned by sixers and provably they will be sweep by them but this is fine on their end because they still reach this far even if their team has go to many controversy and surprising trades. Maybe next season they should comeback strong since its given that their new young rooster has a talent and Nets just need to develop them.
1391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any benefit of bitcoin to the government? on: April 22, 2023, 02:23:27 PM
Bitcoin has benefits to us, it is why we speak positive about it and support it because if bitcoin was in no way of benefit to us, supporting it will be difficult maybe like the government. Maybe we have all been selfish and just been discussing the benefits that bitcoins have offered us and not how it has also benefitted the government too. Is the government a part of the benefit list of bitcoins, is there any benefit that bitcoin offers to the government? If your answer is "no benefit", do you think that it could be a reason why the government do not support bitcoin? If your answer is "yes, but not enough benefit", do you think they are just ignoring the benefits to them and focusing more on the benefits to the people which is making them angry?



Sometimes what we think beneficial to us will not come up the same to the eyes of those official since sometimes they have an interest to protect. Maybe for now they are protecting someones interest like those big financial institutions and avoid to make them lose because of new discovery introduce to their citizens. But for sure in the long run government will find those billions of transactions happened on cryptocurrencies a relevant situations where they can take advantage with and have another means to collect more taxes from people who use it.

I am not trusting anyone on this forum to give them more details or evidence in private message, so please don't ask. I do not intend to convince most people here, since experience shows they're mostly dishonest. It's for those who followed me here for some time and know I pretty much like the truth, and for those who have some common sense reading the link of my scam accusation above.

You cannot convince people easily since so far you don't have anything to prove against the casino you accused so maybe for us to believe thay this case exist maybe try all you can to sue them and win your case. If that happen for sure the sympathy of people will shift in favor to you and those existing gamblers which still play on the casino you targeted will provably stop especially when they see your cased is so valid and been announce that they lose the case filed against them.
1393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you agree with ChatGPT on the club that might win the premier League? on: April 21, 2023, 10:28:09 PM
Even though the AI didn't match the correct 1st club of the league, we can't deny it was pretty accurate inside an error margin which is completely acceptable when trying to guess the correct winner of a competition. However, it just confirms what many members of this forum are saying since a long ago: to use an AI isn't guarantee of winning on sports betting on long term. Future events can't be foreseen with assurance by gamblers, much less by AIs.

let's accept the fact that AI will have their basis based on previous stats or data, as that's where they are getting their answers from. the future events won't be in their system yet. but the info actually is already good if you have no idea about this league.
but we have seen the limitations of its answer. this is why, if you do want to win on this sports, much better to hear opinions from long-time sportsbettors. humans still have better version of analysis.
Agree, no system yet has been built that can predict the future outcome of some events so its really shitty thoughts that you could win accurately on those events by asking AI about possible result. Gambler who believe on such thing should need to consider the real time events since sometimes AI cannot help them up for that and they should do their own analysis base on what currently they see on the league.

Apart from this, PEPE has now opened a deceiving portal for investors, many will crave for a project like PEPE and the crypto space will witness a new numbers of King PEPE, PEPI INU, BSCPEP, PEPE Finance, something with PEPE name.


Not new thing happened on scam tokens sections since once there is a shitcoin became famous due to the hype it gets the other devs will create a same name with a twist just to get the attention of other investor. They also make believe that there's something cool stuff will happen to their token the same on what they are copying. To risky to invest on such things and much better not to think any of it to save up some cash.



What do you think about this project madness? Will you dare invest in a project like this?

Nope I won't, this is classic scamming by token creators and will not let myself fall into this shit trap.
1395  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: April 21, 2023, 11:22:59 AM
Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money?

if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?

If there's no money involve into what you are doing on that site it cannot be called as gambling, It can be categorized as playing where you can earn a prize in return. So there's nothing to worry about that if you are worried for someone who's participating on such prediction game since they cannot be categorized as a gambler in my opinion. Gambling will be consider if there's money involve since you are risking some amount of money but in that situation nothing will be lost to you and its made just for entertainment.
1396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why does It takes time for market to be bull on: April 21, 2023, 09:57:39 AM
I have been wondering why does it take so much time for bitcoin price to bull and whenever it try's coming up it takes just some few hours or days to drop drastically or changes in percentage.
Does this means bitcoin can not maintain bull sign for about 7 months or 1 year straight up without having to change and show bear signs?
Can someone explain this to me i am curious to know, and if this question already ask please ref me topic to read so i can lock this?

Thank you.

Because sometimes market has driven out by fear. Those fuds spread by some certain institutions are use to manipulate the mind of the people to get afraid and that's stopping certain situation for bitcoin to create continuous demand. After big tragic events which affect a lot it really takes time for the market to recover because demands is not quietly surging at that moment.

But you can notice once halving nearly came you can see people to starting up to hold since many are expecting that there's great thing to happen and halving is triggering factor to activate the bullish season on bitcoin and other crypto.
1397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 20, 2023, 10:30:46 PM
We gotta remember Lakers is the 7th seed, and Memphis is the 2nd seed in the west right now. I can understand why many people want to see Lakers winning and even odds showing that but remember odds are done based on your bets, so if you bet on Lakers to win all the time, and most people do, then the odds would be better for them to win, doesn't mean they are the favorites.

I still think that Lakers may end up losing this series, after all the seed should mean something and yes upsets happen but they are not the common one. How many 7 seeds have won against 2nd seed and how many 2nd seeds won those series? I bet most of the time 2nd seed ends up winning the series, and there is no reason why it should be any different now.

The Lakers rebuilt their team at the end of the season and had a lot of injuries along the way so it isn’t really fair to judge them by their seed. However, things are definitely getting interesting with Dillon Brooks trying his best to get under LeBron’s skin. The next game will be a good one to watch as we see if LeBron is going to be able to respond or not.

Its not about the seed position since we know how their campaign goes over this season and they just newly acquired those high caliber player which fits on their system very well so seed discussion doesn't really matterr here.

To responds Brooks loud mouth I guess Lakers need to perform very well on game 3 since if they could take a lead at least 10 points away or even more for sure Brooks will shut his mouth. But Grizzlies win last match expect more intense taunting and physicality coming from them.

In fact, if you are lazy to read casino rules, you must fight against them. in the sense that the gambler must be willing to read every entry into a casino that he just found out about and then read the important sections on KYC, VPN and which countries are prohibited by the casino.
So that gamblers have no reason to be lazy to read, while there are other, easier ways to read the gist of all the problems that often occur in casinos, and I think all gamblers can learn this.[/left]
When you accept the terms you are showing them you have read all the terms and are comfortable with it whether it's KYC related or VPN or any other but after that if you say casino is not allowing you to withdraw funds without KYC or freeze your account because you were playing from prohibited country using VPN then how come you raise a accusations against them? So you must look into it once without being lazy to read the terms.
Unfortunately not everyone is doing since most of the time people just check the box where they agree that they read the terms of agreement without reading it. They didn't acknowledge the risk since they are confident that they are not doing illegal actions and get any bad strike to the casino. We should avoid this and we always need to acknowledge the TOS of the casino since this could save us some time to understand the current situation especially if there is a requirement ask due to some activities we commit.
1399  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Buying a house with 100% Bitcoin is possible in Portugal on: April 20, 2023, 10:52:28 AM
A very good trend is that people have started accepting payment for real estate in Bitcoins. I am surprised by the fact that it is more profitable to buy an apartment than to rent, in my country the situation is completely different.

Just to give you an idea, in Lisbon, anyone who wants to rent a house pays twice as much as someone who has to pay a bank loan, even at this time of high interest rates.

So, if you have any possibility, which option to choose? If I had that option I would choose to buy instead of renting.

There's rent to own option on other country so much better to take that option if you can't afford to buy at the moment so that after years which agreed where the payment would last you can acquire that property unlike renting it without anything in return.

But much advisable with this option is to really buy a house since you cannot get any problem regarding on those monthly payment plus you can get this at much lesser rate compare to other options you are thinking of.

Draymond not on the floor is not a plus to them.  Not to say they won't win but it very much has to do with how good golden state is at home and how bad they've played on the road.  Their other options covering sarongs isn't going to be any better.  He does more than just what's on the stat sheet.

I think even without Draymond the Warriors will likely win this while they are playing at home, for me now that they got Andrew Wiggins he needs to step up in place of Green for the defense, they also have Gary Payton II that can likely be a great defensive play for the Warriors aswell, but because Mike Brown was the assistant coach for the Warriors back until 2016, he is pretty much familiar with the Golden State Warriors game play, so they surely got some counters for some players,


Big part has been missing if Green is out on the rooster knowing that he is the anchor of defense in GSW line up. Payton and Wiggins should step up on this situation since they need to get win in their home to change the momentum of this series. Although Coach Brown know about how GSW set their plays but for sure GSW coaching staff knows how to counter this and preparing for more intense game on game 3 which it will be played at their home.
