141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Sport Has Many Gambling Supporters (State Your Opinion) on: September 06, 2019, 08:32:39 AM
In my opinion, not much people who jump into basketball. I mean not all people enjoy it. I pick only on soccer because it's supporters is all around the world.That is why there are a lot of things that we can bet in sportsbetting especially soccer. With that reason, i pick on soccer.
Yeah I think so, basketball is only famous in a few countries like United States, but soccer is more thorough in almost every country, soccer is a favorite sport because it is a cheap sport to be play, you only need a ball and a field you can already play soccer. from that we know that soccer has the biggest supporters in the world.

The case of racism in the Italian League received a strong response from the former Senegalese national team player, Demba Ba. He encouraged black players to leave Serie A.

Romelu Lukaku received racial harassment when Inter Milan won 2-1 victory over Cagliari in the Italian League continued. Before carrying out the task of being a kicker, Lukaku got ridicule that sounded like a monkey's voice. Lukaku was flooded in support, but not from the Nerazzurri ultras.

It is so ironic that Inter 's ultras didn't support their player.
Maybe they don't know the reason why their club was created.
Absolutely sad, not only for Italian but the European football. We live in a globalized world with so many old stereotypes...
I don't think that insulting Lukake was a from Inter Milan supporters, racism arises from cagliari fans. Even before this incident, Balotelli who had an Italian citizen had experienced the same thing, which we know that he is an Italian but received the same act, so ironic
143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guys started to gambling with cryptos or fiat money? on: September 06, 2019, 07:20:33 AM
I started with fiat money, before cryptos, but only in sports bets, but after I found about cryptos I started to gambling in online casinos
And I prefer to bet with BTC, it's easier to play in any website I want

Before cryptos, it was hard to bet in my country because we have some strict laws against casinos and the IPs usually were blocked

There should be a poll on this it's a good study to check if people started gambling after they were introduced to Crypto online gambling, I think after the introduction of online gambling especially in Cryptocurrency people start to gambling because it's easy to fund your wallet, coming from bounty airdrop and other sources of income from Cryptocurrency, this is what happened to me after I was introduced to Cryptocurrency.
Yeah i think there is a need for polling so we know the statistics. In my opinion most people only know and play gambling when the crypto is present. crypto becomes an easy bridge for players to play gambling, so many people then start to play gambling with crypto, like me.
144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What withdrawal fee do you consider as fair in gambling sites? on: September 05, 2019, 08:14:25 AM
Majority of the gambling sites that I gamble with charge little to no fees which is why this was never an issue for me. I usually withdraw only after I win a decent amount and I never faced any problems with withdrawals whatsoever.

Exchanges are far worse in comparison charging hefty fees whether BTC value is low or high. Gambling sites are much better in comparison.
I think so, most gambling sites do not really provide a large nominal fee that is burdensome for players, instead exchanges that give very expensive fees. Gambling sites are still reasonable in taking fee withdrawals and I do not pay too much attention to the fee  when I get big win in gambling
145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto hodling as a form of gambling! on: September 05, 2019, 06:45:05 AM
If you do it blindly without doing any researches about the coin you are going to hold then yes it is a form of gambling, if you do researches as well as doing it with a plan then I cant say it as gambling but investing. Obviously there is always a risk of holding crypto as there is no guarantees that holding = profit. I'm quite sure there are many people have the same experience as you including me and I do not regret it too as it is a part of investing where we need to be ready for all possible result especially a lose.
Thats right, without a deep calculation then trading and holding that you do will be the same as gambling, because you only depend
on your luck to profit because you can only hope, hoping in a trade won't mean anything, hoping only for gambling.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: September 05, 2019, 06:31:18 AM
Nemanja Matic has been short of playing at Manchester United this season. Matic stressed that there was no problem with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
MU has played four matches in the English League this season. Matic inhabits the bench a lot, he once became a substitute when Manchester United offset Southampton 1-1.
Matic was reportedly by British media that they were getting hot because they didn't get a chance to play. Although rumored to be leaving Old Trafford, he remained until the transfer window closed.

whereas Nemanja Matic became Manchester United's mainstay last season. It is really a shame if he has to be on the bench.
But also we have to respect the coach's decision, maybe there is a strategy that wants to be done without Nemanja Matic in it.
Still confused why Solskjaer who always plays Jesse Lingard, even though he did not provide big contrubution to the team. the assists he gave during the last 3 seasons are still inferior to Adam Johnson, even though he's been in prison for 3 years lol. Man utd still need a lot of star players, to strengthen the squad of his team.
147  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Cryptocurrencies are not harmful for economy on: September 04, 2019, 10:37:36 AM
There are some nations that are too blind to see the advantages of accepting Crypto currency investment like reducing the unemployment problem which is the most common problem of every nation. Once unemployment will be reduced it will increase the purchasing power of the people making their economy to become more strong and stable.

You didn't state the way bitcoin will reduce unemployment. Or , will everybody start mining bitcoin?
If talking about hodling, that is not encouraged for someone to rely on and trading is far risky than you think

I think crypto does not completely eradicate poverty and unemployment because income in crypto is uncertain, especially its price is volatile and can hurt investors. and the government's consideration is not only from that, but what does the government get from the presence of crypto for the government itself? nothing, but losses obtained from the presence of crypto.
148  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Unregulated market is illegal or legal? on: September 04, 2019, 10:12:13 AM
I think it is only illegal if there is a law that makes unregulated market illegal. The crypto market in my country is still largely unregulated but the people are free to use and trade any cryptocurrency from both local and international exchanges. Some countries have already imposed their own regulation to curbe some illegal activities and protect their people financially.
Exactly. Without law stating prohibition of using it makes it still allowable or legal. Just like generally speaking, there’s a lot of bad activities being performed everyday but as long as there is no law stating it is prohibited and punishable it remains legal. Here in my present location it is illegal but foreigners can open  bank accounts.
Thats right, except if there are written rules about crypto, then the regulations have been enforced. as long as there is no official notification from the government, then no one can forbid you to use crypto. many countries have yet to respond to the presence of crypto, so crypto is still legal to use.
149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The secret of gambling? on: September 04, 2019, 02:25:03 AM
That's good but as an addition, we have to hit and run not only after winning. After losing the initial money we could afford to lose, we had to stop as well. Because as I know, there are many gamblers who cannot accept loss and even deposit more money to catch up on the lost money as soon as possible which mostly could produce even the worse results.
Sadly, almost all gamblers have the exact same desires that you are describing. Every defeat at the start will arouse their desire to get their money back and even with a higher target.
Actually there is no secret to dealing with losses, as you said from the beginning, that before we gamble, we must understand the risks involved in gambling, allocating funds according to your courage to accept losses, it is not a secret thing to accept defeat and not revenge and come back when you lose.
150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does Martingale strategy increase your chance of winning? on: September 04, 2019, 02:15:40 AM
At first can anyone tell me why do you have to use strategy against luck? Don't these people know meaning of luck? Luck is something that happens itself, independently, that's usually why beginners win firstly.
Also it's pretty clear that player's luck is renewed every time, you can't built strategy on continues luck because every bet is built on new luck, that's how it works. It's like imagine you are building house but it falls on first attempt, how can you continue building? You have to start again.
We know it, but in every game in gambling there is a gap where you can use it, not to increase your chance to win, because it's the realm of luck, but strategy is needed so that you can get a bigger profit from that gap, not hope the possibility of profit becomes large, because it is impossible that can be done with strategy.
151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: September 03, 2019, 04:16:00 AM
That like the previous season, competing for the EPL title will remain the same as this season. Namely Liverpool and Man city.
We only finished the 4th round. Still we have 34 rounds to watch. It's a very long journey. While it looks like the battle is indeed between City and Liverpool but if any of these team fails to continue their regular performance and some other teams like Tottenham, Arsenal starts to improve then we may see the competition will not be between City and Liverpool anymore.

Very happy If United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and even other English league teams are able to compete with Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the table. Because it's really very interesting for EPL for sure. We wait for the following weeks.
Yeah because for the last 2 seasons only 2 teams have competed with each other for the league premiere title, besides Liverpool and Man City, they only compete for positions 3 and 4 only. I hope primary league is the same as a few years ago, competing tightly to win first place in the primary league. but it looks like Man Utd is still the same as last season, struggling to get back to compete
152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: September 03, 2019, 03:55:55 AM
Just curious here.
I know there are tons of way to live.

but is there such a thing as professional gamblers?

people who make a living onlyout of gambling (online or on rl)?

resources and comments on that are really welcome.
I have not found anyone who depends on income from gambling, but there are people like that, whether it has become a hobby or because they are forced to get rich quick. need experience and techniques to become a professional gambler.
People use to win big because they are well trained and they have found gambling as best way to gain money we will have to be ready for all things happen. I like to gamble in my extra time of the day I gamble when I get free and i never leave my job as well because gambling can be done at night as well casinos are open 24/7.
I have never seen someone who gambled to make ends daily meet also, no one of my friends who did so, many of them only play when they want to fill spare time. but some people in the world surely there must be using gambling for its main income, like addicts do. yeah people who live from gambling should be those who are ready with all the risks that exist, well trained, experienced, and stay in control
153  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Taxes on crypto on: September 01, 2019, 11:20:57 AM
If there is a country where cryptocurrency is legal how much is the tax that we have to pay to the government? Also, how can the government track our transactions?
If it is already legally recognized in a country, it will be ensured that regulations will be made regarding crypto, so that the state can take tax legally because it is regulated by laws. if the regulation has been established, it will still be easy to collect taxes from crypto transactions. for example when exchanging with fiat and transferred through bank accounts, it can be directly taxed.
For now I myself have not heard from the country that asks taxes on bitcoin users. only a few exchanges require tax fees on every withdrawal a user makes to their bank account. if the tax is applied maybe about 10% of your annual income to crypto. as the government does for your salary in real jobs.
154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I don't know how to trust a gambling site nowadays! on: September 01, 2019, 09:06:42 AM
Why nowadays when there's a gambling site that offer a bunos on your first depost it seems like scam?  Especially if the bunos is to much than your initial deposit.

And also whe all knows mostly gambling site nowadays are using KYC.  but why when there's a promising site that doesn't require  kyc it smell fishy as well?  What did happen to this world?  How to trust again on this kind of sites?

well, it may appear like scam,but it is like an advertisement strategy, to entice you. it shouldn't be new to any business that has competitors. it is to make you believe they have something worthwhile to deliver. although, some may be scam.you only need to be careful.
and the matter of the KYC.most of them introduce KYC for authentication of clients and it should be to the benefit of the client as it would reduce scam.those who does not introduce KYC also have their way of protecting their clients.it shouldn't be an issue.
Not all gambling sites that offer deposit bonuses will become a scam. unless they have a crazy promotion, Like have a very large deposit bonus. it could be that they became a scam before you could withdraw. and not all gambling sites use KYC. there are many old gambling sites and trusted that do not implement it, and I played on the site
155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Choose Lottery Instead Of Anything Else? on: September 01, 2019, 08:37:08 AM
People like to chase the big jackpots that a lottery provides even though the odds are a lot lower overall compared to blackjack.  Also many lotteries are used to fund government programs like the public education system.
The high pays that is in lottery make many gambler to be in love with the their platform, their olds are far better than that of the bet especially that of the soccer bet. Have been involved in the national lottery but have not be able to win from my bet, but when the luck comes, the money always come in volume.
I do not think that gamblers have a small chance in lotttery, you right who dare to spend their biggest capital who will have a greater chance of winning. that's what make some big players love, because they have the chance to eat the little fish that play in that game

Maybe some gamblers use the biggest capital in the lottery but don't forget that the lottery owner will not allow them to buy many tickets. The lottery owner knows that if they don't limit the amount of the ticket that can be purchased by each person, the jackpot will easily to be hit by people who have the biggest capital. So that makes gamblers could only buy some amount of the ticket and hope that their ticket will be the winner. The chance for this will not be bigger depends on how much their ticket and the only person who have lucky will hit the jackpot.
Indeed, there is a limit total of lottery tickets available, but I think there is no limit to someone buying a lottery ticket? or let say if there are limits per account to buy lottery ticket, one gambler can create multiple accounts to get more lottery tickets. that's the advantage if you have a lot of capital in the lottery game.
156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does hard work in gambling count? on: September 01, 2019, 06:31:26 AM
For me, yes hard working counts in gambling because you can't only trust in luck some game in gambling needs strategy and skills so that you can win easily or you have a considerable percentage to win/overcome your other opponents. Experience is very significant in gambling, especially if you are playing some poker because you can master your bluffing skills, card counting, and many more. Smiley


Experience is much required with gambling. To gain this experience one needs to loss big. Very few get to be lucky with gambling. From my understanding hard work with gambling gets good results when it is done with sports betting, which means data gathering about the players and all about the game will help in picking the right odds. With casinos I don't find hard work pays.
Agree with you all kind of eating needs knowledge and to get this knowledge you will have to work hard it takes researchers and history reading ability you will need to collect as much as information completely collect about the game as it is not good to jump in gambling without any idea an knowledge pre planned gambling gets success at the end.


I also agree that gambling is not only about luck, hard work in many ways also affects the final outcome of gambling, especially in games that are not pure on luck for the result, of course other factors also play a role. but I admit that work hard doesn't have a big effect, maybe only around 1-30% of the possible profit
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling destitute on: August 31, 2019, 12:53:05 PM
Poor people doesn't earn much, so they can't prioritize gambling over their needs, otherwise it will ruin the family as most gamblers are men.
Indeed. But the fact that there are some gambling addicts everywhere, they can even mistreat their own family just for the sake of playing games. And with this they turn out to be criminals.
This is why gambling should be played with moderation. Most of gambling addicts find it difficult to exit addiction in gambling; perhaps due to their personal issues and problem thus we can't judge them if they only find the fun in gambling but we should still stop them as long as we can so that it won't be too late for change.
Everyone knows that gambling makes you poor, but many gambling players don't understand that, many of them don't care about the negative effects that will result if they play without control, plan and moderation. many of them lose control while playing, making them lose all the treasure they care about most
158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: August 31, 2019, 12:15:45 PM
Well, Arsenal benefits more from playing at home.
Tottenham always provide armpit resistance when meeting a large team. And the thing that is often experienced is that when a large team meets a small team, they always lose.

I'm sure the match will provide an impressive spectacle with their attacking games.
This match can well end as a draw.
This duel will be presented fiercely because it is about the prestige between 2 team in one city, this derby will prove who is the strongest in the London. I think Draw is not the expected result, I really want that both teams have same attacks strategy each others, many goals will be created in this match. I will bet over 2.5 Goals for this match and very likely to win for that bet.
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tricks and tips for esports betting on: August 30, 2019, 11:41:46 AM
Focus on a single game and then review past tournaments. Check out the teams that have participated to see their winning ratio then follow them online to find whether which teams might participate at any certain event. Also follow individual players in each to know if they'll be in the lineup. That should at least give you an idea on how they'd fare and which is the more skilled team.

That's a good point. Now the question. What do you use ? What information do you need? Do you read the first better newsletters?
I think he has answered the question you said. what information you need is of course what is related to the team that competes, starting from the line-up of players who will be deployed during the match, some last matches on the 2 teams, intrigue what happens between both teams, there are many other things. and that is what you must see before making the choice to bet.
160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: if anyone hacked your account then who is responsible??? on: August 30, 2019, 08:16:28 AM
It unfortunately is your responsibility.  How can a exchange be held accountable if you leave your user name password laying around, have a poor password that's easily cracked, virus attacked computer, etc.  Always practice safety and use 2 factor where available, that will help keep your accounts secure.
In the world of decentralization no one is responsible but yourself. You are responsible for all the finances that you have in cryptocurrency, starting from the security of your wallet, strong passwords, and so forth. if you are hacked then all the errors are in you, such as weak passwords, or careless when deceived phishing sites. You are responsible for all your security of your money in crypto.
